First Half 2009 Stats for St. Albans Blog

The first half of 2009 was a good one for St. Albans Blog, although numbers would have been significantly higher had I not forgotten to renew the domain name, immediately loosing a few days of traffic and having a lasting impact on user visits and page views for a month or so. It was my own fault so I'll stop moaning

Headlines? Just under 50,000 page views generated by 30,000 unique users in the first six months of the year. That's an average of 275 page views and 164 unique users per day. Thanks to everyone who's visited - I hope you've found this blog useful, entertaining or both. Pretty usage graph below:

New Facilities at St. Albans City Station

They've recently installed lifts to all platforms at St. Albans City and now there's a coffee shop with seating too. It's just a shame I still find myself standing on 50% of my morning peak services.

The Courtyard Cafe at the Yoga Hall

The Courtyard Cafe, which opened this week, is located at the Yoga Hall on Hatfield Road, just next to the museum and the University of Hertfordshire Law School. It looks nice from the outside but I only spotted it today so no review yet. Let me know what you thought if you've been.
