News Hounds Stats for December
Reported by Nancy - January 1, 2006 -
Back in October, we changed the way we track our site statistics, & began tracking numbers of subscribers to our weekly digest & number of subscribers to our RSS feed. We now have 3 months' worth of data, but I'm still not convinced they accurately capture much useful information. Nevertheless, for your interest, here are the statistics for the past 3 months. For traditionalists, I've also included the year's summary of the stats we previously tracked. I've also updated the list of other countries where we have readers.
