Well, I’ve been spending many hours of my evenings and weekends writing this blog. Ya know, like all blogs, this stuff doesn’t just happen! I’m sitting here at my computer writing and editing for up to 6 hours a day (on weekends) in addition to a pretty full-on day job in STM publishing. So I took a look at the statistics of who is reading this stuff and where the visits are coming from. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! In the short time this blog has been active I’ve had nearly 1000 visits from more than 20 countries! Including the Seychelles and Mauritius! So, I’d like to say hello to all visitors, but especially to everyone from the top three non-UK (and non-Google, but bless you!) countries: Germany, India and France. One thing that all bloggers have to manage is SPAM, and I can tell you that I’ve already had a fair amount from those scumbags. That is why I have to moderate all comments, so that you, dear readers, do not see that garbage. Be assured I report all SPAM posts to relevant sites. <\/p>\n
So, dear reader, if you have a few moments to say hello, do please write a comment to let me know if the content is useful, or not useful, or what should be covered here. After all, I work in publishing where peer review is critical to what we do. <\/p>\n
Look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n
Cheers<\/p>\n
