Visitor numbers

I get the visitor numbers from Google Analytics and have had an 7% increase in visitor numbers and 8% increase in pageviews from October to November. The number of visitors to my website is continuing to double every six months. The following table shows visitor numbers and pageviews for each month from August to November 2008.

Month	Visitors	Pageviews
August 2008	37,419	43,836
September 2008	42,910	49,964
October 2008	47,099	54,632
November 2008	50,566	58,986

RSS Subscribers

I use Feedburner/Google to serve my RSS feed and give an indication of visitor numbers. I curently have around 85 RSS subscribers, the same as last month, although it peaked at 100 for a few days one week.

Changes made this month

I didn't change anything on this blog this month.

Things to do

The ability for people to comment. This should happen this month as the new framework I have been working on is almost complete and I'll most likely be moving this blog onto it and add in commenting at that time. OK, I said the same thing last month...
