As is evident in the right-hand column of this page, Nature's Blog has just passed one million pageviews. I should be thrilled but I know that a significant percentage (perhaps most) are by bots, search engines and, most recently, AI readers.
Nevertheless, I'll keep it on the page to inform those focused on the business of blogging. Besides, we humans tend to place emphasis on volume when it comes to sales, readership and consumer engagement.
I do appreciate those who regularly indulge my opinions, rants and pontifications, especially those who share my naturalist philosophy; indeed, I know some of them personally. My thanks to everyone who stops by, even if only once or simply by mistake.
