Main Website Viewing Figures

Current Total is 13,979

Will the target of 14,000 be reached?
Just today to go and the site needs  21 visitors to get there - not going to open the champagne yet but on the face of it the target is within reach

The figures are provided by the site host and therefore easily verifed to any third parties that might question their authenticity.

The total daily figures are only available after midnight.

Main Website Viewing Figures

Current total is 13,944

With two days to go, including today. It's still touch and go. The latest (January) official 'Blog' page is on the main site so I'm hoping that will help.

Will the 14,000 Target be Achieved on the Main Website?

Latest Figures 13,903

I'm crossing my fingers as with three days to go including today it only needs 33 visitors each day and the targets reached

Note: the figures are only available after midnight on any given day so I can't update them other than on a once daily basis.

I do use a separate visitor counter on a couple of the web pages but this was only for evaluation purposes and it doesn't seem too reliable

Visitor Numbers - Can we make it 14,000?

VISITORS TO THE MAIN WEBSITE
As the year end approaches I'm hoping our visitor numbers will reach 14,000. Current total is 13,862 not including today. It's going to be touch and go

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
A high level of interest in the Regeneration Scheme is important to the Group and potential funders. It also helps with our sponsorship since our Sponsors name is clearly shown on the home page. Every visitor will see this and of course advertising pays - Just ask Coca Cola

WHAT AM I DOING
I'm working on the January 'Blog' in the hope of publishing it a few days early - Visitor numbers always increase at the beginning of the month when the 'Blog' is first placed on the site so that's my incentive

TOMORROW
I'll publish the figures on this 'Blog' each day until New Years Day - so you can see if we are going to reach the target - As I said in the opening paragraph it really will be touch and go

Portgordon Heritage Group

An early view of the harbour as a Steam Drifter approaches. What a magnificent sight. The Harbour Group Committee has allowed me to create a link to this 'Blog' and the website of Portgordon Heritage Group. Nice touch this and continues the Groups ethos of supporting other local organisations.

The website is a modest affair but is intended to show a wider audience how the village was many years ago.
All the pictures are available for viewing in the village resource centre 'The Lampie Hoose'

I hope as you look at the site it will reawaken your memories of this fine place

Do you have any photographs that can be added to the existing collection. If so, please scan them and send to the email address on the main websites contacts page. Acknowledgement will be given automatically unless not required

I'm still building this site and so the content is a bit sparse at the moment

Blog issue for December

Despite my belief yesterday that I wouldn't get the official 'Blog' finished in time I'm pleased to say I did and it's published on the website

This is despite the fact that I thought there were 31 days in November

You probably guessed the picture on yesterdays page is of a Gordon Highlander. If you got that you probably also know the connection with Portgordon is the man that founded the village also raised this famous regiment - Alexander 4th Duke of Gordon
