Oof. No good news here. Obviously, I've become inordinately boring over the last month. Perusing the data, the main culprits are Harry Potter (45 views in July vs. 1 in August), my family's personal pages (all down roughly 50% from last month), and various archives (some down 50 pageviews or more), so maybe it's more about Google searches than the quality of my writing. Yeah, that's the ticket. Sure...

I'll also point out that it wasn't such a bad month, as much as it was a bad couple of weeks in the beginning of the month. If I re-run the stats starting on July/August 13th instead of July/August 1st, the numbers come out like this:

Metric	July 13-31	August 13-31	% Change
Visits	521	588	+12.86%
Pageviews	768	926	+20.57%
Pages/Visit	1.47	1.57	+6.83%
Avg Time on Site	3:56	4:51	+23.01%
Bounce Rate	82.34%	82.82%	+0.58%
% New Visitors	87.14%	81.29%	-6.71%

So maybe things are looking up. See you in September...
