A little preventative maintenance

I'm cleaning up around here. Updating, revising, reorganizing. I hope you will soon see more activity and frequent posting here.

In the process, I've looked at the magic software that tracks visits to NavyLyres. Here's the most recent count:

Total visits- - - - - - 14,071
Average Per Day - 47
Last Hour - - - - - - 3
Today - - - - - -  - - -19
This Week - - - - - - 329


That daily average of 47 visits is high for this time of year. Typically, readership dwindles to a few hardcore visitors per day in the winter and increases in the spring, as the Navy Musicians Association reunion approaches. (This is NavyLyres' 4th year of operation.)

This busy winter could mean the busiest spring yet; we'll see.

Readership is not only relatively high for this time of year, it's widespread. The last two days alone have brought visitors from 15 states and 4 countries.


My duty is to square this place away and keep it inviting to all MUs, past and present. You who leave comments here have a duty, too, the obligation to remember that this is a public place.

A very public place. In fact, some of the visits here are from your children and grandchildren. 

They're googling you.

Just so you know.
