]]> Well looky here, it’s the beginning of another month, so what happened in July, well for starters it was a busy month. My blog had stacks of comments, views and conversations going on, possibly more than previous months and with the build of new commentators cam the influx of the dreaded spammers that tried to abuse the KeywordLuv and CommentLuv plugins, but we know who you are….

Anyway, as this is the beginning of August and July is now but a fleeting memory, I thought it would be good to bring in a few stats etc just for your enjoyment, so I’m going to start with the mighty list of those that took the time to leave comments that were actually worth their weight in gold ;)
