A navel-gazing blog post: I was a late convert to Feedburner, so it took me 6 months in to sign up to it, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Also a fan of MyBlogLog, but Feedburner is great for keeping tabs on subscribers, posts, reach and all sorts. Scarily, I realise I’ve been blogging since April 2006 for SSE, which means it will be two years worth’ of blogging some time soon. So, some stats:

– 252 posts
– 26,000 page views (according to Typepad); average c. 40 per day since the start (though currently 70)
– c. 350 feed subscribers or so (according to Feedburner).

Check out the graph of slow, organic, audience growth (the big spike was a glitch, sadly):

And here’s how the subscribers break down (click on the image for more detail). Google, followed by e-mail (FeedBlitz), followed by Bloglines….etc…

Which is all heading in the right direction, though I think I need to pay more attention to Beth Kanter’s advice on How to build your blog audience.

Finally, a list of the top 5 posts on this blog (drum roll please):

1) Social entrepreneur and social innovation blogs
2) Corporate social responsibility and inflection points
3) Why the third sector shouldn’t fear blogging
4) Virtual social networking: a blessing or curse? (score one for our intern, Thor)
5) Measurement and scrutiny of the third sector

I’ll be tyring to group and theme some of the older posts in coming weeks (bit of retrospective indexing).
