Keen not to cause grave concern among our avid throng of readers, we can assure you that the Scribo Ergo Sum team is ready to see in the autumn. A week’s break over the Bank Holiday weekend is arguably not a bad time to take a breather. James and Doug went to Reading, while Ali was busy working on other web projects of a non-blogging nature. Gerry’s whereabouts, as usual, are something of a mystery.
We enter the autumn with more of the same: British politics, American election coverage, funny videos, reviews, some Boris bashing, and the odd bit of blogging about blogging. As ever, the comments section is open for all to use (within reason - we have had to delete just two comments in the last 9 months, both of which were direct threats from known criminals).

James is heading off to Reading today in an effort to obtain a festival ticket at the gate. Douglas is also going there tomorrow, having somehow manged to land himself a job in a socialist beer tent. This means that Ali is, once again, holding the fort.
Normal posting shall resume some time next week but (given how wasted two of our contributers are likely to get over the weekend) no promises as to when.

- New / returning visitors: 60.77 / 39.23
Breakdown
By far our best month since starting the blog in December 2007. Liberal Conspiracy was the highest referrer, beating Google for the first time. The most popular pieces of the month were James’ reviews of Marxism 2008.
Note on new design
A few days ago, we changed the design of the website. The new build includes certain features that readers have requested (such as the option to be e-mailed if a comment thread is updated). It also load much quicker, and is clearer to read. The theme was designed and built specifically for Scribo Ergo Sum by our resident webmaster, Ali. By simple absent-mindedness, the Google Analytics software was not loaded onto the new design for several days. In other words, our best month ever was actually rather better than it seems.
Note on Stat Porn
Debates rage over the nature and motives of publishing stat porn on a monthly basis. We have published four bullet-pointed key statistics each month, along with comment on the general running of the blog, each month since we started. It lets our (growing ;)) readership know where we are, and allows us to take stock in a single “housekeeping” message once a month instead of drip-feeding belly-fluff inspection throughout the year.

As you are (most likely temporarily) all here and reading thanks to the kind (if wrathful) linking from Jennie you might as well read my Critique of British Feminism to give you something to properly rage about.
If you could stomach that then please do stick around.

We bring good news and bad news. First, the bad news, as it actually matters; James’ internet connection has ceased to function. His output may therefore be sporadic for an undetirminate period.
In better news, Douglas has his first Green Party Recruiting Propaganda proper piece up on Liberal Conspiracy. Do read, if you haven’t already because you reached this site from there…

The most popular post this month was Doug’s comment on the economic disparity between Johnson and Livingstone voters. We have benefited somewhat from links through from Liberal Conspiracy and Tory Troll. We are confident such things are mutual

From henceforth I’ve scrapped the pseudonym “R.E. Vamp”. Largely because I was sick of not having a proper first name that people could address me by.

According to Google Analytics somebody found us through a search for ‘were where the ergo clocks made’, ’sexy unrestricted sites for small boys’, ‘why was Sir Keith Park in the news lately’, ‘eat your own shit’ and, a personal favourite, ‘”work harder for” cock’.
I don’t know whether to be more worried about our readership or our site’s content. Regardless, welcome to the website. SES is a broad church.
