Visitor Survey Results, Part 2
In our first set of survey results, we saw what visitors think of our site. This time, we'll look at who's visiting our site, where you come from, how you get here, and how you describe yourselves.
Since the results have been tabulated, another forty-four people have taken the survey. Though I have read the responses, these additional results will be tabulated later in the year.
But before we get into more statistics, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite comments.
This is, without doubt, the finest history site I've encountered. In fact, I think it the finest site I've found, period. It's easy to use; it's informative - with astounding depths and clarity - and it's FUN to boot! One Cannot ask more from a site!
Thanks, Mom!
I think the graphics on the site lack sophistication.Jay Hubbell
Ouch! And after all my years of training in graphic design... wait a minute, I don't have any training in graphic design. Whew! I feel better.
Most of us tend to get stuck in a rut of what interests us. Going through the newsletter I always notice something I would never have thought of investigating before - something that catches my eye and turns out to be really interesting & sheds new light on my understanding of the past.Sharon
I see my tendency towards dilettantism is paying off. Glad you get so much out of it, Sharon.
This comment was made on the writer's page by a published author of horror fiction.
your about.com site is excellent but it seems, well, a little mundane. it would be more interesting if you had a weird medieval event of the day or a did you know side-bar about some strange medieval medical practice. everything on this site is somewhat like an ordered little grade school classroom. perhaps this was intentional. spice the place up a little and have some fun.
Don't you just love people who tell you how to have fun? It's refreshing to find someone who thinks I'm not weird enough (you should see the looks I get when I mention a medieval topic in normal conversation). And I really love the suggestion that the site is too well-ordered. Please tell that to the dozens of students I get every month who can't find their way to the Daily Life pages.
Alas, "weird" is relative. I know many people unfamiliar with the Middle Ages who think it is filled with "weird" people and events. They look at the era as a collection of oddities and strangeness. I, on the other hand, am cursed with the vision of our past as a fascinating yet logical progression of events, an intriguing evolution of technology, philosophy and learning.
So, I can't say I'm sorry this site isn't weird enough for you, Anonymous Horror Author. But you might try Stephen Wagner's excellent Paranormal site for the strange and bizarre of both past and present.
I work online and don't "surf" the web very often. Once I'm done with work, I want do be DONE. However, the medieval site is the one place I visit weekly to just look around casually. I sometimes lose myself in the site going from link to link as it is all so interesting. I haven't found another place like this on the web. It is wonderful. Your newsletter is the highlight of my cyberweek as I savor every link. I often go straight from this site to my local library's online site to check out some books on what I was just reading about online.Chelinda
Wow, thanks, Chelinda! I hope more people follow your example and head to the library for additional in-depth info.
