  1. Surprised that a ‘design blog’ shows daily viewing/visits as a smoothed line plot with dots. These data should be presented as bar chart; interpolation is meaningless.

    1. It’s a fair point, Phil.

      Unfortunately, it’s the only option in our non-invasive analytics package, so I’d need to hand-knit the charts myself. Which takes a bit of time.

      But we’ll take it on board, thanks for the feedback.
