Another Year of Statistics: Starting Over
As I said a year ago, I will now be starting over with the statistics, so check that previous statistics post for the data covering the first five years since launching this site. Not that it should be of any interest to anyone, of course, especially considering the low number of visits, but I’m posting it nevertheless, largely for my own use.
Next time there will be three columns once again, but now there will be only two, with the first one covering the entire period since the previous post, so from September 21, 2015 to September 20, 2016, while the second is the usual one I add at the end, covering the last month, so starting on August 21, 2016 and also ending on September 20, 2016.

[1] Ever since switching to the new Analytics code, I ended up with a number of entries listing my own site as source, which are quite clearly direct hits from returning visitors. As a result, all such entries were added to the number of direct visits.
It sure was far less work to put this post together, compared to all previous ones which had that total column as well. Still took me a few hours, but considering my current mental state, only a few hours and having only one moment when I wanted to take a longer break, not even considering giving up at least for the day, sure says it was quite easy. Not even putting together entries that are wrongly counted separately was much of a problem, as there were very few of those now. Of course, it’s possible that some mistakes slipped through and I won’t check yet again now, but think I checked quite thoroughly while writing this, so it should be good enough.
As for the records, those are unchanged, namely 169 visitors and 180 visits, set on the old site by that large spike on August 16, 2009, and 333 pageviews, set on March 3, 2013. And it sure took me a long time to remember I hadn’t added them initially due to the situation with my computer at the time I posted this but, as a much later edit, here are the graphs for visitors, visits and pageviews for this period as well.
