Puzzling Analytics

I am not sure when blogger got a facelift, but it's been a little while that I've been able to track how many people visit my blog each day, which entries they look at and what country they're from.

I got a little bump about a month ago. I noticed that 18 people visited my blog that day. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but as I've written in the past, my blog is just not that active. As I was leaving Atlanta, my blog was a place for people to get the skinny on what was new and to let people know my parting activities and a way to join in. However, since I moved readership has been fairly light and I am doing it for me. To note where I've been and to see subtle changes from day to day and greater ones (or the same questions) from year to year.

However, lately I have seen larger numbers of people reviewing the blog. Mostly from Russia, Germany, China, Latvia and the US. And this is the entry that's viewed each day more than all of the others. Most of my entries have less than 5 viewers - if they've been viewed at all. However, the post on documentation - as I leave Davis and move to Berkeley has been viewed 83 times as of today. Eighty-three!! It may be a class or a recommended blog post. I really don't know.

Anybody want to give me a clue?
