I’ll wait another day or so before tabulating yesterday’s responses.
A quick observation – I am surprised by the percentage from Connecticut. Breakouts I’ve seen in the past show more geographic diversity.
I’m now speculating, in-state readers go to the front page. Out-of-state readers are brought via search engines and go directly to inside pages. It’s just a guess.
A third option: I’m in-state, but I never go to the front page b/c I keep up with the blog via a “Live Bookmark”, a.k.a. the RSS feed aggregator tool in Firefox. So whenever there’s a new posting, I see it and go directly to it.
I’m also in that third option with Meredith. RSS to Yahoo! I don’t think I’ve acually seen the front page in over a year…
