Stats, referers, clients and stuff.

I'm looking at my server-side stats.

Discounting myself, Google and Yahoo!, P6 has served up almost 18,000 pages this month to almost 6,000 unique visitors, including RDF/RSS downloads. Even discounting the 1500 or so folks looking for post Super Bowl tit-tay, I'm pretty impressed with myself.

I know where a lot of this came from. I'm getting a LOT of hits in The Public Library. It seems some of the folks who came from the Bloggies to read the Identity Blogging thread hung around. And I'll tell you what pleases me: pre-Bloggies nomination I was averaging 1.4 page views per visit, according to Sitemeter. And that nomination brought me a big spike in traffic. And the average pages per visitor for that time frame was…1.4.

I need to rework The Public Library. All that stuff is static web pages in the design I used with Blogger. I want it to match the rest of the site, vain bastard that I am. I want it searchable. I got stuff to add. And finally, I think I want it downloadable. See, I'm not worried about traffic limits; this account gives me 40 gigs of traffic per month. And in the stats I noticed two site grabbers…and one of them, WebCopier, went for the gusto, pulling down 135 pages. This, in my opinion, is a Good Thing®. I'd just rather folks DID something with them. So I'm considering making either downloadable PDFs or a collection of plain vanilla (no flaming hands) HTML collections of the documents. It's not a big deal to do, I just have to decide where it goes in the queue.

If you decide to make them HTML, you can use MT to manage them. That's what I'm doing for several sections of my static website. I have an index template that lists all the content with links to the individual pages and the documents are blog entries stored in individual archives. This makes it easy to maintain and update and searchable through MT.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. MTPaginate is a really cool add-in I can use to page them and provide navigation as well.

Actually, I keep categories around here, though I don't display them. I could put them all in a specific category that's excluded from the front page and generate full content RSS feeds for the downloadable versions.

I found it easier to just create a separate blog for this and not worry about excluding categories. However, you might want to integrate your content more with your blog than I do.

I have a number of pages on my website that are mostly collections of links to other resources and I'm using MT for this as well. Each link is a blog entry, organized by category, and then I have a variety of index templates that display the links in each category, no archives. When I see a new site that I want to link to, I just fire up my MT bookmarklet, enter the appropriate information on the link and save. The link is automatically added to the appropriate page of my site.

I'm actually storing all of the static pages of my website in MT. I have them saved as template modules, which are linked to the actual output pages. This makes it much easier to update them since I no longer have to go through the hassle of FTPing the updated files. I would eventually like to organize them better but this was the fastest way to get them into MT.

It's not the integration that gets me hyped over MTPaginate, it's the navigation. The Public Library has a multi-chapter books in there, and MTPaginate not only mkes it easy to manuever in there, it creates bookmarkable URLs for each page.

Yeah, MTPaginate is cool, though I don't use it all that much.
