So this time last month I posted some visitors figures for the first time and was largely told off for caring about such things. Bloggers, you see, are only supposed to be secretly obsessed with their readership figures. My mistake

It’s not the number of visitors that matters – it’s about finding a niche and filling it well. My niche seems to be ‘being a Lib Dem that drives everyone nuts’ and long may that continue.

Be that as it may, Guido was in a mischievous mood and linked that stat-porn post on his, ‘seen elsewhere’ bit which seemed to put me on a few more radars than I was before (and gave me a very weird sort of thrill, too – to my shame my heart skipped a beat when I realised what was going on), and the result is that this month there’s been 12,512 of you visiting, which for me is absolutely loads and makes me feel like a Propa Blogga. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m quite chuffed by this (even if I have been pipped by Mark Reckons this month, the bugger!). I managed to squeeze into quite a few Daley and Golden Dozens whilst sneaking links from the most unexpected places like over on Tory Bear which resulted in me having to sponsor Jennie Rigg to carry ‘Charlotte Gore is not a Tory’ banners. At the very last minute I was delighted to have been linked by Devil’s Kitchen, too, which means I haven’t completely aliented libertarian readers whilst I’ve been messing around with lists and other sillyness.

I should say thanks for visiting. I’m thinking I’ve done with the blogging medium now, I’ve peaked, mission accomplished… and so now wish to experiment with communicating a libertarian message through the medium of dance, puppetry or performance art. Hmm.
