Festive Greetings. My Top Ten posts.

I hope you had a reasonable Christmas... this crapaud wishes you all the best for 2015.

Might as well copy VFC a bit and list my Top Ten posts - but for "all time" as they say, in this case since May 2010 according to my stats page.

At #10, the specialist topic of bunkers drew in the "crowds", around 350 views since I posted in April this year : http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-best-view-bunker.html

At #9, another specialist subject where viewers almost certainly came direct from a Google search : http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2011/01/roches-douvres-lighthouse.html

I think the same applies to the rest of them too, rather than there being any huge bunch of regular viewers. At #8 : http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2012/08/wow-bing-aerial-map-view-beats-google.html

At #7, people looking up the story about Operation Hardtack 28 and Captain Ayton at Egypte: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2013/05/egypte-ayton-lair-and-les-rouaux.html

#6 : searches about Battle: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2010/08/battle-of-flowers-moonlight-parade-2010.html

An oddity at #5, it was only a short message with no pictures: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html - but it mentioned technical issues with YouTube and British frame rates, so I guess I'm not the only one to have noticed the problem and searched for info!

#4 : a definite Specialist Subject: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2010/10/db9-superyacht.html

#3 : even more specialist and one of my more geeky excursions into nerdiness: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2012/08/jersey-post-collection-boxes-2012.html

The Top Two reveals what the internet is really for, apart from cat videos and smut - nostalgia.

#2: http://crapaudmatic.blogspot.com/2012/04/tourism-decline-lost-attractions.html

My most read page has been viewed 4422 times since appearing a year and a half ago (would you be happy with those stats? I'd be interested to hear).

Have a Happy New Year!

Where have you gone???

Hi, thanks for missing me :)
I tend to hibernate a bit during the cold months, but I'm cooking up ideas for themed postings as and when the outdoors gets more welcoming.

There's also the "been there, seen it, done it" problem of living in a small island, and the explosion of amateur photography online since I started out when digital cameras where quite new. These days there are photos of Jersey all over the place!

But do stay tuned :)
