Look no further?

Based on the overall stats for this blog site since I started it a few months ago, it would appear that many visitors do not go beyond the front page. I don't mean that they suddenly surf away as soon as they land on coyw.co.uk, far from it, because the stats clearly show that visitors stay around long enough to read the articles (or posts, if you prefer) that I have posted. And, new visitors arrive all the time, from around the world. That's very encouraging news and it is positive to know that visitors enjoy reading my mixed blend of topics that range from Cray Wanderers FC to Football In General and Daily Life to Everything Else. Basically, if there's anything to write about, the chances are I'll end up researching and scribbling away. I often add something new to the site, perhaps not every day but, whenever my carer duties allow.

But, the front page of listed articles on this site is not the only page to explore. I have recently added a new section entitled 'From The Archives', which can be accessed via the main menu at the top of each page, just below the main header. It is currently a case of 'from little acorns mighty oaks do grow', as I am still wading through the older matchday programmes from the Wands' games between 2010 and 2025 to see which of my articles will fit into this site. It has surprised me just how many articles I wrote for the programme between those years. Anyway, more are added as time permits, so please call back often and give 'From The Archives' a try.

By the way, one or two visitors might be a bit concerned with what statistics get captured at this site. Don't panic! I don't know where you live, what your email address, what your IP address is, none of that because it doesn't get captured. All I know is, from what countries people are arriving on this site (and it's truly global), roughly how long visitors are staying on the site and what the overall visitor duration totals are for each page. The only time I get to know who you are is if you decide to drop me an email via my 'Get In Touch' page. I don't even know who the customers are at Amazon when they click on my links here and buy my 'After Grassmeade' or 'Nutmegs' books, as Amazon deal with the transactions directly. I don't even capture names or email addresses when you click on the link to download my free 'My Grassmeade Days' PDF ebook. Not many websites nowadays can claim to be as transparent as that!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy your experiences on this COYW blog site and, if you keep coming back for more, I will know that I've got the mixture just right. Maybe you can learn something new from my jottings or maybe you'll have your mind jogged about something you'd totally forgotten about. That's value that you won't often get anywhere else. Even AI is not that clever! And, if you want to share this blog site with friends, relatives or associates then please don't let me stand in your way. The more visitors, the merrier, to paraphrase the old saying.

Have a great New Year everyone!
