Another 10,000 visitors between 11th November 2006 and 9th August 2007   Back to Contents

It took about 500 days to clock up the first 10,000 visitors after the new counter was installed. The next 10,000 have taken about 270 days!

With many more people using The-Eversdens as their home page, the number of visitors has risen. I know many move on quickly but most linger long enough to pick up any new notices. Some leave their computers on all day with the website open at the front page.

I love it when someone new has alighted on the website. I speculate that they are new visitors if they have used a search engine to get there. They give the pictures on the site a real going over and sometimes spend an hour or more exploring. It's especially intriguing if they have found us from a country thousands of miles away. I picture them in exile shedding a tear into their warm beer.

There is a Popular Pages heading in the counter. Recently the "Local characters and their minders" pictures have topped the list.

It amazes me that people still go back to old events. Almost every week someone goes over the pictures of Eddie dismantling his inflatable robin when England were knocked out of the World Cup. Why? Perhaps it's Eddie?

The website now comprises 5 different sites (soon to be 6 as the Picture Galleries site is filling up) and numerous album websites under the Pictures headings. (You can't discern the different sites) That is because the free ISP I use gives just 25 megabytes of web space per account. That's an awful lot of words but not so many pictures. To give you an idea, the Picture Galleries section at the last count was up to 21 megabytes. Each of the 5 websites is a separate ISP account. Sooner or later the website will have to be simplified into 1 complete package and a big webspace purchased.

The website has given me the perfect excuse to get out and about with my camera. As well as providing an information service, the site is turning into a pictorial account of village life and landscapes.

Please keep visiting.
