Well, top eleven really. I was trawling through the site statistics here at the Hole this morning after spending some time looking a different technical things about the software I’m using. The Hole is getting slower (as indeed is Thomo) so I am thinking of trying a new theme and cutting back on some of the widgets here to speed up the loading of the pages from the Hole.
I was also looking at the which posts here had received the most visitors. Some I had guessed would be popular (like the Korean Soldiers in the WW2 German Army) and others were unexpected (Cancon 2009 for example).
I present the list here:
Article | Number of hits | Comment |
Korean Soldiers in WW2 German Army | 21,159 | As expected |
Cancon 2009 | 11,825 | Now this was a surprise |
Fire and Fury: Idiots Guide to Painting American Civil War Figures | 5,790 | This is one of the oldest posts – it came from earlier phpNuke versions of Thomo’s Hole. |
Colour Schemes of WW1 Warships | 4,447 | |
Sausages in Tomato Sauce | 4,115 | Everyone likes a simple recipe |
the Lebanon – Impressions from an Aussie | 2,767 | |
Blitzkrieg Commander – Wargame Rules for WWII | 2,640 | |
Battle Of Lemnos – Naval Battle 1913 | 2,562 | An interesting little sea battle before World War One |
Apia, Samoa, March 1889 – The US and Germany Square Up To Each Other In The Pacific | 2,486 | Involving one of my favourite ships, HMS Calliope |
WWI Merchant Navy Camouflage Patterns | 2,431 | |
Marie Callas – Clairvoyant and …. ? | 2,428 | I thought this would have appeared higher up the table as it is one of the most commented posts here. |
So, an interesting mix of history, wargames, social conscience and cooking.
