The latest Open Parachute March ’13 – NZ blogs sitemeter rankings are out with BR:AKL slipping to 80th for March 2013.

80 Ben Ross: Auckland 1667 2494

 

My Australian holiday of two weeks occurred in the middle of the month which resulted a slow down in my postings – but a nice break and shopping trip now the less. However no excuses from me unlike the Auckland Transport Executive with April is going to be an extremely busy month on BR:AKL with Unitary Plan commentary now in full swing, and the usual Auckland transport commentary also at full speed ahead.

 

Again a thanks to readers and commenters – without you this blog would not be able to happen

February Blog Rankings Out

BR:AKL Continues Improvement in Ranks

 

Open Parachute has released their February 2013 New Zealand Blog Rankings. You can find the complete list over at “February ’13 – NZ blogs sitemeter ranking” which is compiled by Open Parachute at the beginning of a new month.

 

This is where BR:AKL is for February 2013:

73 Ben Ross: Auckland 1987 3040

 

Checking back through Sitemeter February was the blog’s third best month with growth tracking well since December. This month I will be in Australia (Sydney and Brisbane) for two weeks so there will be slight interruption in commentary (plenty of holiday snaps will be uploaded however 😀 ) in Auckland issues as well as me missing the launch of the draft Unitary Plan. However as we draw closer to the elections at the end of the year BR:AKL will be for sure keeping an eye on candidates seeking our votes. Work on BR:AKL projects like the Alternative Unitary Plan, and Southern Auckland Future Growth plans will also continue; as well as keeping Auckland Transport “honest” and pushing for feedback on Sky-Path.

 

So a big shout out and thanks to all the readers (and commenters) at BR:AKL. Without you the blog would not be possible

 

Oh and I do not run the blog out of a basement as Open Parachute’s picture would suggest 😛 . The main computer is actually in the living room where I can survey the entire property as well as having the phone and tablet at hand when out in the field. However changing the world – well yeah, one more step at a time 😀

85th Blog in NZ

 

85th equal out of 275 New Zealand blogs (that have publicly available site-meters as BR:AKL does)

 

That kicks BR:AKL into the top 30% – a nice small quiet achievement that brought a 🙂 to my face this afternoon.

I think it might be time for a quiet beer and reflection as I continue to take BR:AKL forward 😀
