Results of the Article
It's coming up on 48 hours since I posted that article
on iBlog on my site. The traffic has already started to taper off (in this
medium, yesterday's news is really "yesterday's news"! I suspect today will
bring in between a quarter and a half of yesterday's traffic. Not
unexpected.

So if I interpret my web logs properly, I got 11960 "hits" of which 8748 were requests for "pages" (as opposed to images, stylesheets, etc.). The article was spread over 8 pages, and some people looked at my homepage and the iBlog homepage alternative, so the actual number of unique visitors would be much smaller. Actually, I've got page requests from 2,091 unique hosts (that includes web crawlers). If I look at it with respect to the number of page requests come from referrals (people who had just linked to my site from either a search engine or an outside link) I get almost 1800 unique visits. And of those only about 700 people appear to have read through the article.
It's really amazing what you can learn by looking through a good weblog report. (Yeah, yeah, and I'm sure some of you think it's no surprise the M.S. degree I'm trying to finish up is in Statistics. For your information, a stats master's degree has everything to do with high-ass-level theoretical Mathematics and nothing to do with starting at—and interpreting—pages of numbers!)
Okay, blogging time is over. Time to return to the Statistics paper.
