If the daily page-reads stay at 1700, the annual total will be around 600,000. However, some of you neglect Ichabod during vacation, even though I remain steadfast at my post.
Therefore, the annual page-reads could be 500,000, given the occasional neglect of certain, unnamed Lutherans.
Looking at the most read posts for the week (left column) will give the reader an idea about the interests of the readers.
The most read since June of 2010 (when the new system started) is at the bottom of the page. The most read post of all is usually the post about the most read posts. The long-term list shows that people are looking into the archives, probably using Google, to find the stories they want to read.
Usually the first comment I hear from friends is, "I like the posts on birds." They will continue.
