Hekatombaion updates

A while ago, I decided that on the day of the Hene kai Nea, I'd post a monthly update about things that happened on the blog. Last month, the Deipnon fell on a Friday, so I posted a Pagan Blog Project post. This month, I'm catching up on my updates, so it will be two month's worth.

Changes to the blog:

• I have added a work-in-progress Reading List to Baring the Aegis. It can be found under the 'Go To' menu off to the left side
• The quest to clean up my insane amount of labels continues... and I am actually making progress!
• I will update the Google festival calendar today
• I will also respond to all the replies left on the blog today. Sorry! Life has been a little hectic on occasion and your wonderful notes fell through the cracks...
• The Hellenic Terminology Page was updated with the latest terms
• The festivals of Kronia, and Panathenaia got linked in the Hellenic Festival Year page
• The last two months, the Pagan Blog Project Posts were on: the lotus-eaters, mēria, the portion of the Gods,  meditation in ancient Hellas, the navel of the world, Niobe, bird divination called 'oiônoskopos', and the ritual scream called 'ololyge'.

Statistics:

• In this month, the blog hit 67.000 views, not counting the views on PaganSquare
• A little over 15.000 of those happened in the last two months
• The top five most popular posts were: Hekate's crossroads (197), Have you ever wondered how to pronounce the names of the Gods? (86), Cara Schulz on Hekate and the basics of Hellenismos (70), PBP: Personal Patronage in Hellenismos (58), and Tropes in the Iliad and Odysseia (57)

Anything else?

I cannot have escaped your attention that Elaion, the Hellenistic organization I am associated with has joined Facebook about three weeks ago. We're up to 85 members now, but would love to have you as well, if you feel so inclined. It's a place to ask questions, have a good discussion, and enter PAT rituals with others who practice our faith. I hope to see you there!
