3 months after I launched by blog, I have just under 4,000 hits, and just over 1,000 unique hits. Also, my web browser/operating system isn't the most common, which means that more than 50% of the hits are not me. When I launched Geoffers' in January, I was expecting to reach the 1,000 uniques in about 7/8 months. You guys did it in 3.
I have had more than 50 comments spread over 10 posts (this is number 11), more than I thought I'd get... Well, on my most commented post I have 19, and I didn't think I'd get that many in total.

WordPress
I started on an alpha version of WP, and I've ended up on 1.5 Strayhorn, now, until 1.6 enters beta with some really good new features, I'll be sticking to stable releases...
In the past 2 weeks, since the launch of WP 1.5 Strayhorn it has got over 58,000 downloads... There are two downloads, the .zip and the .tar.gz, which is smaller, now, if we times that one's filesize (274KB) by 58,000, we get an idea of how much bandwidth was used for it... Around 15GBs, for a project which is open source and who's only source of income is donations, it is a huge amount.

well I guess that isn't bad...you have to hit the major search engines if you want to get astronomical hits to your site as well as having alot of "hittable" content on your site.
I've had nearly 8,500 hits since last April so I guess that isnt bad. However I would still love thousands of hits per day:D
