ReplyDeleteHey Cal, I hear we're gonna get a 7th NHL team after all in Canada....in Quebec City.
ReplyDeleteMake it Seven!
Congrats Cal!
ReplyDeleteThe popularity of your blog is due in part to its focus on issues that touch on City Hall. Keep it that way.You are filling a void.
Don't be distracted. Please come out with more thought and discussion provoking questions and issues. We need more debate in Hamilton. There are many mid-level city hall staffers that are fed up with Council and senior management. This is a place for them to share their frustration and knowledge.
Please do a report card on each Councillor so we can be specific rather than condemn or praise the entire Council.
Thanks for this blog.
Thank-you The Sage and welcome! Hi Rick, as well.

By the way, The Sage...that was on my list of ideas to consider- so I am glad you mentioned it. I'll be pursuing it at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks again
Cal
Juice IT up and show your EXOUSIA!
ReplyDeleteThose numbers are encouraging Cal but I do not
place much credence in hit counts as a slide-
rule of thumb.
After we remove the robots (search engines and
third party lackeys) and vulnerability scanners
(cracker jack hackers), then remove all hits on
images and scripts, we will find far less unique
visitors making page requests.
Now I do not wish to be a party pooper. I make a
minimum of 1 page request per day and that jumps
to 3 or 4 if I post a comment. Cal's been up for
nearly 60 days and has had 47 posts. I have not
commented on every single one and neither has
each unique visitor. With the benefit of doubt
I can say that I am responsible for between
150 and 250 page hits in that time. At 200,
divided into 10,000, I can safely say IT
works out to no more than fifty unique
visitors at this site based solely on
my own browsing habits.
Fifty is a fair amount of readers no
matter how we slice and dice IT. But
when we consider that only a dozen
of them leave comments we know
we have a long way to go.
I'll stand by my assessment.
I have not seen any vote on
any poll here exceed 20. IT
appears that nearly twice
as many will vote than
will have their say.
Thanks for sliding in our status Cal
Whew!!! That's a lot of traffic for the site! Congratulations Cal ... you keep the site interesting, and worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Brian H. +
This is the only good Hamilton blog on the internet in my humble opinion. Keep up the great work Cal.
ReplyDeleteHey Cal, just watching the CFL football game right now. I'm calling it the "NHL Relocation Bowl" between Hamilton and Winnipeg.....winner of this football game gets te Phoenix Coyotes. LOL
