The secret to blog success is to post nothing!

Or so it would seem, looking at the stats for this blog of mine.

I usually have 10–30 visitors to the site per day, which is fine because I don’t advertise or promote in any way, there’s no definable hook (it’s just me posting whatever, plus lots of jogging updates) and the design is nothing special.

But then, on November 9th (two days ago as I type this), I got over 400 visitors. I did not post that day. The day before I posted about my knee, which I suspect is not a huge draw, though I did post a link to a Charlie Stross talk that I found entertaining and on-point the day after.

But still, weird.

Anyway, to anyone who visited, please root around, you’re bound to find something at least mildly entertaining. Maybe I’ll throw up (!) my gigantic page of tags again, that’s always good fun.
