What month is this?

Everyone was complaining about last month being such a slow news month that someone proclaimed it Navel Gazing Month. I have found that my visitation rate has dropped rapidly with the beginning of this month. I even tracked how many visitors found my site last through pointers posted in the Cul-de-Sac, the Carnival of the Vanities and the Bonfire of the Vanities and noticed very few hits coming from those link-a-thons.

My regular readership has stayed steady, however, and I am still moving slowly up the ladder in the Blogosphere Ecosystem, but is this another really slow news period? A drop of 25% in daily visitation denotes something. I am just not sure to what it points? Is it me, or is it just the general trend of things? Is this Head Banging Month?

Speaking of the Cul-de-Sac, Kelley has posted this week's plethora of posts to see.

I've oticed my own traffic is down somewhat lately too.

Maybe most of our traffic has been kids who are now in school doing other things.

It's sad. They get a much better education reading blogs...

Me too! Dramatically down, after the brief boost from Acidlanche and Instalanche last month. Saturday was the lowest traffic day I have had in 2-3 months: 79 hits. I pretty much don't drop below 100 any more, but I *was* near and over 200 as a matter of routine for a while.

What I hate is when I write some of my best stuff and then it's a day of no traffic. That makes me start saying "well what do people want?" I can understand it on a day I post nothing, or if I am in one of those funks where I've been posting a streak of really lame stuff.

Last week was a big vacation week, right through the weekend, so we'll see what happens now.

Oh well. At least it's not just me.

Tig, does this mean we will see posts of how many bruises you've added to the collection since the last head banging post?
