Here's some quick statistics about the visitors that come here:

Visitors mostly come from search engines and other Blogs, presumably through the "Next Blog" button.

86% of visitors stay for less than five seconds. Of the ones that stay longer, they mostly stay about 20 minutes or more. Which is nice.

Surprisingly, less than three quarters of you are using Internet Explorer, with 26% of you using other browsers - mostly Firefox. Lucky I fixed that display bug a couple of months ago. Most of you are using Windows XP with the display settings on 1024x768 or 800x600 screen resolution. I use 1152x864, and aim for the site to be comfortable on 1024x768.

67% of you come from the UK or North America, with the remaining 43% coming from all over the place - Europe and the far east in the most part.

Most of you who come here from a search engine have searched for "Hedgewitch", which isn't surprising as I'm in the top results on Yahoo, Google and MSN.

And last week, the counter tipped the 2,000 hits stage.

All in all, a quiet year. I wish I could think of more to chatter on about, or I could come up with the wonderful paranoid rants and expositions that other bloggers come up with, but I haven't got the emotional energy or the time or the outrage one needs to compose one.

So thanks to everyone who visited, everyone who pops in and shoves straight off and mostly to my regular visitors.

Rest assured, I'll be carrying on doing just what i've been doing, trying to post something halfway interesting every day. And you guys can carry on doing just what you've been doing. If you're reading this through a RSS feed reader, leave a comment and let me know, huh?

I will say one thing though

To all those 85% who stay for less than five seconds
