Super blog readers

As a sequel to my comment about the Finnish reader of my blog, I thought I should add that, contrary to what I had supposed, he or she had not finished reading, at that time. Ultimately, their single visit to the blog amounted to 3 hours, 8 minutes and 8 seconds. They read through 125 pages. Without a doubt, that is the longest anyone has spent on a single visit, to my blog since it began.

Yet, the Finnish reader is not alone. Someone today, from Singapore, spent two hours, eight minutes and 56 seconds on a visit, reading 65 pages.

Thank you all for taking such an interest.

A new champion blog reader?

I have noticed that some new visitors to my blog do spend quite some time reading. Some read many, many posts in one go. I find this encouraging for it indicates that I must be writing something of worth to people - otherwise no-one would take such trouble.

Today is a case in point. A reader from Seinjoki in Western Finland spent 2 hours, 37 minutes and 5 seconds reading 96 pages of my blog. I would have to check back, to see past records, but I think it likely that our Finnish visitor is a new Gold Medallist in the blog reading stakes.
