Of note – WUWT on WordPress top posts

Apparently there’s a lot of interest in inverted proxy cum hockey stick data. WUWT’s post…

IQ Test: Which of these is not upside down?

…placed second overall on WordPress blogs worldwide, even beating CNN. The only post higher rated with traffic was WordPress own internal announcement post about Twitter (which every blogger sees when they login).

BOTD-101809

In WordPress perspective, as they list on their main page:

The best of 244,660 bloggers, 177,719 new posts, 218,847 comments, & 45,327,262 words today on WordPress.com.

WUWT came in at #11 for blogs overall seen here: http://botd.wordpress.com/ Most of the other contenders are fluff or entertainment news. Though I confess I do like Hack-A-Day and read it on occasion.

For all my critics and their disparaging words, I must be doing something right, because WUWT is the only blog with science content to be in the top 20 of WordPress.

The hockey stick shaped number of readers continues and the recognition is well deserved. Your blog is greatly appreciated – where else would we go if it didn’t exist?

October 18, 2009 1:31 pm

Well done! Keeping up the momentum nicely.

I see no reason to be surprised at this, Anthony.
Truth will always out eventually and I think we’re probably entitled to a little schadenfreude now and again as well.
My first port of call continues to be WUWT!

The interesting question here is whether the MSM is doing itself a service by promoting AGW alarmism. They are following an old script (fear is good) but it’s a new game. WUWT for me has much greater credibility than the MSM on AGW and an increasing number of people are coming to that view.

Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis’d, new fashions are devis’d.
Old Christmas is kickt out of Tow
Yet let’s be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn’d upside down.

Science isn’t a democracy.

Thanks you Anthony once again for running this blog. Marxism taught us that only human masses create the history, but they were wrong – sometimes one strong individual will launch the avalanche.
S!

Congratulations and thank you for the work you are doing! How you manage I have no idea, but I hope you are able to maintain the quality of the many posts here. Focus on the science as you do.
Well done indeed!

“..Marxism taught us that only human masses create the history, but they were wrong – sometimes one strong individual will launch the avalanche..”
I think that Marx expected strong leaders to begin the revolution. He and Engels wrote in the Manifesto “..’ . . . a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class . . . in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists.’
He was expecting leadership and direction from the class which had always provided it, but going in a different direction. Do you see Anthony as Lenin, or Trotsky…? 🙂

I’m still waiting for the BBC to have the integrity and courage to mention WUWT and Climate Audit in the light that you guys deserve.

I think the moustache is more Lenin, but the hair is definitely more Trotsky.

Re:”science is not a democracy”.
Nor is global warming hysteria a science.

I think it is noteworthy that there was a hue and cry, and many saying they would abandon this blog because you published, “Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton “.
I believe that most of them did not stop reading, and in fact you gained readership.
Integrity is easily recognized, and Anthony and crew have it in spades.
Thanks,
Mike Bryant

Congratulations
I like the humour on the site mixed with the egghead stuff.
Although algebra jokes have always whooshed over my head. 🙂

Congratulations!
BTW, ref. Mike Bryant (14:23:36) : “Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton“
Lord M was only doing what the warmist willies advocate: don’t let the facts get in the way of scaring the p out of your audience. He had a couple of carefully placed qualifiers starting with “If…”
