Log Analysis (as of October 31, 2009)
These figures were created by the AWStats program offered online by our web host. We also track usage with Google Analytics.

Monthly figures are now being posted on the Top Twenty page. Current average is 62,032 user sessions per month. Web page views are averaging 229,167. Users sessions decreased 3% in October after a 8% increase in September. Page views held steady with a 2% increase in October after a 2% decrease in September.

3rd Quarter 2009 - Quarterly figures for user sessions decreased 22% from 2nd Quarter. Page views increased 7% in the third quarter following a huge 40% increase in the 2nd Quarter of 2009. These large swings are likely due to the use and then removal of the original e-card program that was being accessed for nefarious purposes.

2008 Yearly Figures show a 17% increase to 780,140 users requesting 1,960,314 pages as compared to 668,203 users requesting 1,772,590 pages in 2007. This is a 17% increase in users and a 14% increase in page views over 2007.
