Having finally got a chance to use a real computer instead of my phone, I’ve been looking at the webstats.
On the Monday of Conference last year there were 10 posts appearing on LibDemBlogs, however this year on the Monday there were 84. Whilst I don’t think that there were many more computers available, more people seem to be taking the time out to blog, or even use their mobile phones to post whilst in the conference hall.
Looking at the hits and visitors to the site, last year saw no real increase whilst conference was happening, most likely due to the fact that the regular readers were at conference. However this year I have a nice spike on the graph, with an increase in hits of 38% compared to last week, which is nice.
Next year I hope to actually blog from conference on that Monday rather than being in by election campaign or just unable to come.
Good on ya Ryan.
Lib Dem Blogs has really taken off and this is in no small part due to your own innovative efforts.
There were a few more computers than in Bournemouth (my last autumn conf), but it would be great to have even more next time, if FCC are reading…
