John's Labour blog 200,000 visitors

Last night according to Site meter I had my 200,000 visitor to this blog since Feb 22 2007.

I posted this in December 2008 when it was 50,000 "The readership is tiny compared to some other blogs but as long as I enjoy posting I will keep it up.

I admit that I do indulge myself from time to time. Some think I am being divisive, others think that I pull too many punches.

But there is room in the “bloggersphere” for a centre left Labour movement blog that offers critical support to the Party and commentates at times vigorously on trade union, political and economic issues. This is my aim anyway....The message of course should remain more important than the medium".

Thank you for visiting.

50,000 Visitors since Feb 2007

Well, its bit of a milestone I suppose. Time to take stock and think about the way forward and possible improvements. 667 posts so far.

The readership is tiny compared to some other blogs but as long as I enjoy posting I will keep it up.

I admit that I do indulge myself from time to time (see next post). Some think I am being divisive, others think that I pull too many punches.

But there is room in the “bloggersphere” for a centre left Labour movement blog that offers critical support to the Party and commentates at times vigorously on trade union, political and economic issues. This is my aim anyway.

I will try and post shorter single issue posts (as suggested by Richard on Thursday). I’ll still do my reports on meetings and conferences but I will try and break them up to make them snapper and hopefully more interesting.

I don't think I need photos for every post. I do agree that often a picture is worth a thousand words but sometimes I think that a photo is unnecessary and not worth the effort.

The message of course should remain more important than the medium.
