WordPress provides, on the back-end, a stats-tracking package. I’ve been using it for a little more than six months now, and it’s pretty nice. I doesn’t give me all<\/i> the information I want, but it does give me a lot, like what people are looking for.<\/p>\n
Beats pulling a server log to get that. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Yesterday afternoon I took a look to see what people were looking for on a fine, dreary Sunday.<\/p>\n
And much to my shock, my hits had gone through the roof.<\/p>\n
Specifically, the hits on a post on Anakin Skywalker’s father had gone through the roof.<\/p>\n
There are time, by the way, that I’ve regretted ever<\/i> writing up my theory on Anakin’s parentage. Like when someone thought that, for Wikipedia purposes, it was a definitive source. Yeah, that<\/i> traffic spike was exciting….<\/p>\n
Strangely, all these hits yesterday came from the UK. So I wonder if one of the networks there showed one of the Prequel Trilogy films. Especially as all of the hits came at the same time, between 5:15 and 5:30 their time.<\/p>\n
Weird. Most weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
