So how was January?
The overall picture on the Floating Life blogs and sites (see the About tab above) was good.
Using WordPress stats to break that down, we find:
- This blog: 2,726 page views (December 2,363) Phew! I thought for a while Thomas was going to beat me!
His “Superdelegates” entry, however, beats anything here — but not on English/ESL where The Gothic rules, it seems, with 672 views. Jim Belshaw’s Personal Reflections has been doing well too with 2,402 page views in January.
- Oz Politics: 4,402 (December 4,019)
- Old Lines from a Floating Life: 5,346 (December 5,584). There were no new posts on that blog, so that is mostly people finding something on the archives via search. The blog peaked on 8,898 in October 2007.

Ninglun on Blogspot managed to get 268 visitors in January, the best so far, with 314 page views.
I will post the English/ESL stats on the English/ESL blog, but the Sitemeter summary for January 2008 shows 5,892 visitors (4,888 in December 2007) and 7.298 page views.
