General Stuff
The first post on this blog was November 27, 2011 (Creating NPC's with depth). This will mark lucky post number 13. That's just over one every other day, which is at least the pace I'd like to maintain. As of this post I've had 711 page views, 194 more than last week. My all time most popular post continues to be my review and actual play of Hollowpoint.




Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

The international scope of my visitors log continues to surprise me. The list of the top countries is the same, though there has been a bit of shakeup outside the top two.

United States 429 United Kingdom 48 Australia 44 Uruguay 39 Germany 30 Russia 29 Canada 20 Switzerland 13 Taiwan 8 Mexico 7

The week's visitor log

United States 88 Australia 15 Germany 14 Canada 6 Russia 6 Switzerland 5 United Kingdom 5 Japan 4 France 3 Mexico 3

Japan, France and Mexico are all new on the weekly list compared to last week.

Chrome is still the most popular blog, though it's losing ground to Firefox (38% to 32%). Windows and Mac both increased their dominance on the blog by 1% each (71% and 11% respectively).

What in the world are you thinking?
and the blue sky lit the deep--2
musings from a dungeon--2
"larry correia"--1
musingsfromthedungeon.blogspot.com--1
the captain of the guard--1
the captain of the guard i--1


The same search terms as last time, except for the addition of an extra "musings from the dungeon". I'm expecting that those who are entering that term into their search engine are looking for this blog since it's a rather unusual combination of words.

Sunday Stats week 1

This post is both lazy and narcissistic. 

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

My first post on this blog was November 27, 2011. This post will make 9 since then, which averages out to just over 1 every other day, a pretty good rate if I do say so myself. As of this writing, I've had 517 pageviews, with my most viewed post being my review of Hollowpoint. Apparently I'm an international superstar, or so my audience visits seem to indicate. 

The big surprises on this list for me are Urugay and Taiwan. Russia is somewhat of a surprise as well. 

United States 321

United Kingdom 42

Uruguay 39

Australia 27

Russia 21

Canada 14

Germany 14

Switzerland 8

Taiwan 6

Mexico 4

The visitor's log for this past week is quite different. 

United States 98 Uruguay 33 Russia 15 Australia 13 Germany 9 United Kingdom 8 Taiwan 6 Canada 3 South Africa 3 Switzerland 2

It appears that whomever it was that visited from Uruguay found the blog this week and then stuck around. I'm at a loss to explain South Africa and Switzerland, 

Chrome is the most popular browser with a 40% market share, followed by Firefox with 30%. The least popular browser being used is RockMelt, with 1 page view. 

Windows is by far the most popular operating system with 70% of the market share. Surprisingly Macintosh is next at 10%, but Android is hot on it's heels with 9%. The least popular operating system viewing this site is the iPad, with 1 view.

What in the world are you thinking?

I haven't been around long enough to generate much in the way of search terms, but these are the ones that have landed viewers on the blog.

and the blue sky lit the deep--poetic, but I don't recall ever using the phrase in any post
"larry correia"--I find it odd that someone would stop here after searching for Larry Correia since my only mention of him is in my Hollowpoint review
musingsfromthedungeon.blogspot.com--If you know the name of the blog and search for it directly why not just enter directly in?
the captain of the guard--I hope whomever was looking for the captain of the guard managed to find him. I'm surprised the search landed here, as it's a pretty generic search (though the post in which I used the phrase wasn't generic at all).
the captain of the guard i--maybe it was a corporal looking for a promotion?
