Hi yeah quite interesting to see from time to time. Maybe a smal bit in the magazine with it ?

David,
Another stat. for you:

Only 11 instances of the worh "titanium" appearing!

Seriously though, it is good to see the forum being accessed by people from so many countries.

Keep up the good work.

The only problem with the stats is that it doesn't show people like me who use the RSS feed to read all the topics and their replies but rarely visit the site unless I actually want to reply to a post like this. It would be interesting if you can get some stats on your RSS subscribers too, although I may be the only one reading the forum in this way.

Colin,

Im not sure on that. I will need to look into it further IRO the RSS feed I built.

The code is put into the front page so should still pick up your access, albeit it wont be translated into RSS.....just as access, reading your IP and from that your location. I will know tomorrow though as it will be a full 2 days worth of viewing. Your in Spain if I remember? If so it should come up on the stats.

Main thing is to get a picture of new users and where they come from.

Kind regards,

David

David,

I'll be interested to see how you get on with this. As RSS is push rather than pull I am not certain other than these two posts you will see anything from my ip address 88.9.xxx.xxx. This is a problem that I have had on a couple of my sites where most of my readers are via RSS rather than browser.

Following on from 8th December here is the latest stats for those people interested:

573 visits; of which

328 are from referring sites
210 are direct traffic; and
35 are from search engines

Average time on site: 3 minutes 8 seconds.
Overall page views: 3376
Average page views: 5.89

Not bad in just 3 weeks.

Its possible to pick up the RSS feeds (Colin) too but this involved some elastic trickery with the code. I will have a go later when I have some time.

Cheers,

David
