I’m constantly amazed at the speed things
move at in internet time. One would expect a priori that daily
readership would be a function of, inter alia, how often the site is
updated. If the site is updated rarely, then people might only check it once a
week or so, whereas if it’s updated hourly, it will be checked more often. And
to a fairly large extent this is true. When I was posting a lot in September
and early October, my daily hits were much higher than in November, when I was
posting much less.

One might have also thought a priori
that cause and effect here would take time to play out. Updating five times a
day can’t increase hit numbers until people actually check the site, which may
not be for a week if they think you’re updating weekly. But this seems to be
wrong. A few days of actually putting content back on the site, and yesterday
was the most hits I’d got in a single day. There’s a lesson or sorts I’m
sure.
