Checkin' The Stats

It's not often that we at Niagara Times will engage in self-promotion, but when a recent contributor stated, "this blog is just a tool for stoking the republicans. It has 8 readers, 6 are just yes men, 1 is a know it all, and me", I figured it was a good time to check the stat counter. You may click on it to see a larger view.

Thank you to the nearly 80,000 unique visitors, in just our two+ years in existence, and their 106,000+ page loads. Oh, and even though mama didn't raise no math major, I'd say those numbers are somewhat higher than the "8 readers" of this blog that was suggested.

Happy Friday.
