There won't be a monthly recap for August, in a nutshell I was finishing it and accidentally went back, so it was wiped out and not saved. In a nutshell most all of my sites went up, Insane Visions was mixed (not as much activity), AdaptCMS.com and most others were up.
As I had said in the prior version of this article, the Monthly Recap will probably be moved to another site (but will still be posted here, just will be posted originally somewhere else - likely Insane Visions).
The "Monthly Recap" is a monthly post that looks at my projects and websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however other things such as new users, number of articles and other things are also factors. I'm a bit delayed on July 2008, but here it is:
A bit of a down month in July. The CMS and awstats say uniques were down a little bit, 11% according to adaptcms, but this was after 2 record-breaking months. Analytics says it was a bit up.
I was hoping to do 2 tutorials in July, but only got 1 up. A total of 6 articles, again, with 1 tutorial and 1 blog. Mixed
Ah, finally a very good month for adaptcms.com. After the release of 1.2 showed little stats difference from any other month, July proved otherwise with AdaptCMS 1.3 being released.
Both Awstats and the CMS reported significant growth (especially the cms stats, 35%). Analytics also said a small uppage of stats.
I expect it to go down in August with 1.4 being worked on, but once opensourcecms.com can list it, it will definitely help. (whenever that is, I've submitted adaptcms twice) Up
The "Monthly Recap" is a monthly post that looks at my projects and websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however other things such as new users, number of articles and other things are also factors. Here it is for June 2008:
Thank goodness for my 2nd favorite AdaptCMS 1.3 feature, stats archive! 3 stats programs to use.
According to both Awstats and Analytics, June was down from May, but better than April. AdaptCMS (the script :p) says that it was down a lot from April and a bit from May.
Stats should go up in July with the release of 1.3, hopefully also (finally) getting on opensourcecms. Mixed
The "Monthly Recap" is a monthly post that looks at my projects and
websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however
other things such as new users, # of articles and other things are also
factors. Last month I didn't post a recap, so this one will be covering both April and May 2008, here it is:
IV had a very good April, according to Awstats it was the best month of the year and possibly the best month ever (or at least for a long time). Analytics said it went down. Either way, despite the stats, just 3 articles were posted in April.
In May, stats were down (by a decent amount in awstats), but a total of 5 articles were posted including v1.2 of AdaptCMS released and in late-may, a new website part of the Insane Visions network was launched - PHP CMS Reviews. Mixed
Just as I predicted, April was a huge month for GTA IV Universe, practically doubling March. Also as I figured, May dropped off by quite a bit from April, but still better than March.
June is expected to go down as well, but with continued updating, could be similar to March. Up
It seems every month I make a post about how I haven't posted for a few weeks. :p However this time it's been a full month!
Sometimes I suppose I don't have much to talk about, like the last few or so weeks. What have I been up to? I just started work on v1.3 of AdaptCMS for one, among features I've already written down likely to be in v1.3 weeks ago - I already have thought of doing full documentation and a neat idea for upgrading, possibly without having to download a zip file!
I've also started a new website, a part of the Insane Visions network, called PHP CMS Reviews. Think of it as a website like OpensourceCMS, it will be building up a database of PHP CMS's and will have demo's as well as reviews, news and other things in the future. The site should be launching monday.
Well I think that's about it, I'll try and update more frequently. Until next time.

other things such as new users, # of articles and other things are also

A good month for IV. Stats according to google went down just slightly, in Awstats everything went up, who knows! Stats were up to a record high last month, so I'm happy.
A total of 7 articles were posted (1 tutorial, 3 blogs) and a nice 12 new member signups. Up
After putting it off, I finally got to work on GTA IV Universe and got quite a bit of stuff up and got some big traffic thanks to the likes of reddit and stumbleupon.
Stats were only up 4,500% :p. I think it could even be better in April, with the release of the game. WAY Up
The "Monthly Recap" is a monthly post that looks at my projects and websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however other things such as new users, # of articles and other things are also factors. Below is how February 2008 went:
Another great month for IV. Stats are the highest since the site became the main domain in the hosting account. (over 1 1/2 years ago) Last month stats were up by a lot already, analytics said 20% and were even up 8% if you compare Feb 1-29 to Jan 1-31st. The continuing success of AdaptCMS helped along with a lot of traffic to the tutorials. 5 articles were posted (1 tutorial, 1 blog) along with 8 new users. WAY Up
January was the best ever for AdaptCMS.com and February was much better. Awstats said uniques tripled January, analytics saying a 200% increase. There were several new articles posted and if listed at opensourcecms.com and v1.1 releases, March could stack up and possibly do even better. WAY up
Continuing a consistent feature here at my blog, the "Monthly Recap" looks at my projects and websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however other things such as new users, # of articles and other things are also factors. Below is how January 2008 went:
Overall, a good month. Stats are way up compared to December, up 80% according to analytics. With the new version of OneCMS, especially, helped stats as I expected. With AdaptCMS released and it being integrated with IV, that will boost it as well. 7 articles posted (1 blog) and 8 new users. Up
The best month of AdaptCMS.com, ever. Double the next best month (from nearly a year ago) and a bulk of that traffic is from just about a third of the month! With Pro and Lite released and posted in a lot of places, stats have gone WAY up. There has been numerous purchases of Pro and new users. Great month and I can't wait until February! WAY Up
Continuing, hopefully, a consistent feature here at my blog. The "Monthly Recap" looks at my projects and websites to see how they are doing. Statistics is a major part, however other things such as new users, # of articles and other things are also factors. Below is how December 2007 went, Happy New Year!
I'd say a "alright month". Stats were down in awstats by a good margin, normal stats were only marginally down (adaptcms stats) and Analytics showed visits and pageviews down, a few other areas up. 8 user signups and 10 articles posted. Mixed
A new website and had a good first month. Quite active, with a lot of posted articles. Stats wise was good, will have a few podcasts coming up and be posting in more directories, after that stats will go down with the end of the season, but a good start. Up
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all viewers enjoy today and of course enjoy your presents and stay safe. However unlike a lot of sites on the web we practically never take vacations. We'll be posting, hopefully, the AdaptCMS Lite v1.0 Beta soon after Christmas and a tutorial or two over at Insane Visions and more on the Browns game, along with a podcast at Bengals Chatter.
A feature I started quite a bit ago, Monthly Recap, is going to get a bit of a try. Basically I look at stats and such and recap my Projects and Sites, how they did for the month, in this case November, 2007.
Pretty good month. 10 articles posted, 2 Blogs, 1 tutorial and 4 actual news items. Would like to get that a bit higher this month, but pretty good. Statistically uniques were like 30 short of the previous month, which was a record month, but everything else was better. Up
A big month for AdaptCMS. Only 3 news items which is lower than I want, but progress on Pro and Lite was great. Statistically, lower, but because of the progress on the script, a good month. Up
Not many have heard of him but he believe the military is "overpaid", thinks 9/11, those who did it were "not terrorists" and it was even "good for this country" as well as other outrageous things. Lately he has been sending out DMCA notices to get the Hannity & Colmes interview off, the notices are forged and he might face some legal trouble but a lot have complied not knowing or wanting to risk trouble. Luckily after searching along with a friend, I finally found the video:
Another new feature of CharliePage.net is the monthly recap, as you can see the Up & Down page gives how my projects and such are going, the monthly recap gives the finale results pretty much.
Well good news, CharliePage.net has successfully moved to BlogPHP! Everything seemed to go fine but if you experience any problems, let me know through the "Contact Me" page.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all viewers enjoy today and of course enjoy your presents. An update will be coming shortly after Christmas. (probably tommorow, the day after christmas
