Blog Statistics

I am always interested to find out which are my most popular posts and where in the world my readers are. Blogger and Google keep stats on various aspects of this for me, and this page is an overview of key statistics. It is my intention to update this annually (or thereabouts). Most recent update 1 Jan 2024.

Popular posts.
This is a table showing my most popular posts. I'm tracking the total views for posts which have been viewed more than 900 times for now.
