Not much going on here at Hartnett headquarters in August, but I’ll get back in the saddle one of these days. Or not. Eh. Visits up 100 percent over the same period last year, uniques up 113 percent, page views up 64 percent, average page views down 18 percent, time on site down 33 percent. I switched my Feedburner account to the Google-hosted version in the middle of the month, and the subscriber counts now seem more realistic, which is to say about 20 percent lower. On to the stats from Google Anlytics and Feedburner. Lifetime counts start Feb. 23, 2007.
