Reading My Blog Differently

Since I have moved this blog to it’s new home here at edte.ch I have noticed a significant change in the way that you, the reader, explores my content. It is all down to the scrolling banner at the top.

The banner is part of my theme Mystique and can be switched on or off in the settings. I can set it to display a random set of 5 posts from any category. I decided that I wanted to make a new category called “Featured” so I can have a range of posts appear in the banner. I needed to reorganise my categories anyway so I went through and added the category to those older posts that I consider still useful.

I immediately noticed in the blog visitor statistics the individual page loads had really increased. Here is the data from my old blog.

Although the chart range is different, here is the data from this new space.

Page Loads edte.ch

You can see the page loads have shot up and that is all down to the simple little banner. I have always struggled with the best ways to highlight to readers older posts that are still relevant and useful, such as our Google Docs work. This certainly seems to be helping and I hope you enjoy some of the older things I have written about.
