Seven and growing

I'm celebrating! Today, 14 March 2013, marks the 7th anniversary of ACC at www.anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.com. Will there be a seven year itch?

You may have noticed on the regular monthly statistics post the Alexa ranking reported for the blog has been going down and down and down. It was puzzling; the Alexa rank has been going one way while daily visits reported by Blogger doubled since October 2010. I now understand why.
While on my recent trip to Europe I noticed that Blogger changed the address entered, www.anglo-celtic-connection.blogspot.com to the national extension. While in Portugal the blog showed a .pt extension.  Alexa logs the visit according to the national extension. There are separate Alexa rankings for each.
For .com the rank is 479,025
For .ca 238,556
For .co.uk 1,352,245.
If you know of a way to get a consolidated Alexa rank across all the national Blogger domains please let me know.

Many readers never come to the website preferring to follow through an RSS or email feed. The statistics don't reflect their use, which is fine. That's what I do with many other blogs.
One reason to visit is to check out the twitter feed for genealogy which shows part way down the left hand column. There's a whole world of genealogy and family history beyond the ground I attempt to cover in that twitter feed.  I tweet occasionally, but not for each blog post, just for items I see as especially interesting where I can't add much. Please follow me -- @JohnDReid.

And thank you for your support for ACC, especially for the tips.
