Today is the anniversary of our first regular post on the Portsmouth Point blog. A year ago today we posted Julia Alsop's interesting piece on the Ancient Philosopher, Thales. So now I will use this anniversary to look back at how the blog has developed and grown over the past year.

At the time of writing the blog has had 74,396 pageviews. We have grown from having only 385 pageviews last February to 10,042 pageviews last month (see Figure 1)
