I honestly don't follow my hits that closely. I do have Google Analytics, but haven't checked it. Maybe I should. My StatCounter was down that day too. I guess my hits would have soared following my plug. I do know that there have been days when I have had 1,000 hits, but I'm too busy now to spend time browsing through all these links.

But with all the cheap, free web metrics software around (do you use Google Analytics?) it should be fairly easy to find out how many new visitors Ian's R4 mention has brought you. Hello Ellie,

I have been writing about politics on mine (but only moaning because Hillary didn't get in) I think I have offended every American reader I have as noone comments any more... Hazel Blears. Do you think her accent is for real? Or is she totally hamming it up? I think the latter ;->... Hi I was just going to give my congratulations as well.

Hazel Blears. Do you think her accent is for real? Or is she totally hamming it up? I think the latter

That is wonderful. You must be delighted and it is well deserved. Too bad this did not come a day or so ago and I would have put it at DTB instead of your Food waste post. Congratulations Ellee.

I don't know about the left/right issue. But bloggers need to know how to write so that people understand their message, make sure their blog is read and also allow feedback and a forum for discussion.

I often disagree with your posts and heartily agree with others. As you allow comments, people can respond pretty quickly in either case. Blears hates this system. I suspect if Blears thought that blogs were good for labour, she would be robustly supporting them. Probably the conservatives would decry them if they thought the reverse.

I have so many examples of spin where the government promised things that were already happening, or announced news twice (but in different ways). You could also point to things like how Blair pushed the argument for war being about WMDs, and within days of invading, had switched the tone towards regime change. If politicians are getting wound up by Guido, then I suggest that he's doing a good job. It’s damn cheeky when politicians blame bloggers for creating a cynical political climate.
