H+B WEBSITE STATISTICS - AND A BIRTHDAY!
We've taken the decision to remove the Visitor Counter from the H+B index page as it was showing signs of erratic behaviour. We now have access to a more sophisticated usage monitor. This tells us that in the past 12 months the H+B site has had 40,944 visitors, who read 92,743 of our pages - and hit on the site and its contents no less than 676,192 times! Last month the site had also had its 10th birthday - we were one of the first to go on line. Thank you to all our visitors - please continue to let us know what you think about the site.
