The Daily Babble

Site News

Readership of Dreaming Up Daily has increased ever so slightly in the past few months. The most encouraging aspect is the increased number of readers who return (and since not all returnees show up as such on the counter, it's a conservative proportion.) Total numbers are still pretty small, though. The biggest one-day spike was due to a link from a West Wing fan site.

Interesting thing with the last post to Soul of Star Trek. It's the second of two dealing with evil and war, through original series episodes. This latest one includes relevant Vietnam era history, and only a few pointed references to today's echoes. This post, which one of the big Star Trek sites (Trek Today) linked to, got the fewest total hits of any that had been so linked in the past couple of years. But the proportion of page hits to visitors was high. That translates to fewer visitors, but (I believe) a large proportion of them actually reading the entire essay. Or if not the new one, then something.

I've got a lot of other work to do this week, but I've been planning some changes which I hope to talk about soon.
