Link with Evening Mail

Good to be working with the online version of the Northwest Evening Mail.

The Ulverston Community Website definitely has a community 'feel' away from the gore, sex and violence of the main paper headlines.

Katie Robinson's report on the Lantern Festival is a great example and we look forward to another excellent report on the Dickensian Weekend!

Blog stats

This blog - some statistics

First - your interests:

Below shows information about visitors:


The top two graphs show the number of visits per day in blue with the maximum touching 80 and buff, the % new visitor. This latter figure shows that over the past month we have about 80% returning to keep in touch.

The bottom blue graph shows the number of different visitors returning to the site over the month is close to 400. The number shoots up every Monday as people return to work - I suspect a number of these are civil servants!

I can get emails almost immediately from self conscious 'servants' when I mention their name!

In my opinion this information indicates that a blog is an interesting way of discussing topics to do with Ulverston. What I would like is for the blog to be run by several different people rather than just me and I'm willing to change its name and focus away from "Geoff Dellow" - any interest?

Welcome again to our new visitors

Yesterday showed the highest number of different visitors in one day for a while (maybe ever).

My logs give the information though I haven't a clue who you are.

My greatest regret is that it is so difficult for you to track what has been said in the past.

I started with the idea of an index but it was turning into a long task and I have more interesting things to do - like actually talking to you on your doorstep.

We are exploring alternative software that will bring topics being commented on to the top of the pile.

Any suggestions?

I'm already tentatively planning out my time table - should I get in.

I have the feeling that I have a limited time ahead of me - say 12 years - and I want to hit the ground running.

(The feeling I had when I used to leap backwards from the platform of a moving bus as a kid so as to avoid falling flat on my face)

I shall publish what I see as the immediate tasks and offer a priority for you to comment on in a couple of days.

It's very important to me that I win with a resounding majority so as to send a clear message to Councillors and "Servants" alike that reform is clearly in the air.

Welcome to our new visitors

Please feel free to comment on any posting here. The more the merrier.

We have in the region of 300 regular viewers with new people arriving daily as a result, I assume of my leaflet through the door!

Next subject :Dementia - the importance of music in our care homes - see the BBC Breakfast this morning!

Note: those mischievous Cobblins have been active again amongst the Market Street Cobbles ! See the previous sighting of the Goblins of the Market Street Sewers!

What's on

Thanks for your participation and it's good to meet some of you at Poppies in town on Saturday mornings at 11 am and on the streets and listen to your concerns ! The smiles I get are particularly encouraging!

This is a great way to communicate though face to face is far better!

Suggestions always welcome.
