Most Viewed in June 2022

This site had 20,855 visits in June 2022 from 14,442 unique visitors. That’s 695 visits per day. Collectively, they downloaded 124,366 pages, which is very nearly six pages per visit.

What goes on that a list of functions in an Internet Explorer component suddenly got 669 visits? Moreover, it’s a very old list, having been prepared one day in 2010 apparently in some round of updating for Windows 7, and then abandoned. Yet I see it sneaked into the 100 pages-per-month in March 2021 and has long been averaging 50 to 60 views per month. I don’t prepare these historical lists of exports without reason, but you’d think there’s a better list to go to now than this old thing.

Almost as baffling is the 247 visits to a meandering editorial on a controversy from the early 1990s. To me, it’s just unfinished business to settle for the record after nearly three decades of near-silence. But if it actually does get read, I had better collect my thoughts on it and write it up properly!

The list below is of document pages that were each viewed at least 100 times in the month. Ranks in parentheses are from May 2022. Faded titles are just index pages which I presume are viewed only or mainly on the way to others, especially while moving from one Table of Contents (TOC) to another. One of those index pages is just the skimpiest of placeholders, pending my writing an introduction, which I likely never will get round to. The TOCs are omitted entirely, as is the banner page, since none of these are meant to be seen independently of a document page.
