Elaphebolion updates

On the day of the Hene kai Nea, I post a monthly update about things that happened on the blog and in projects and organizations related to it. I will also announce Elaion's coming PAT rituals.

Changes to the blog:

• I think I've answered all reader questions now. If you didn't get an e-mail or message back, please send it again!
• I've been going through my tags in the right hand menu and weeding out weird and disused ones, making it easier to search my blog.
• Last month I linked Blogger to Facebook, so my Facebook page is now up to date every day! Have you followed me there yet?

Statistics:

• A little over 856.000 views right now!
• 23.000 of those hits happened in the last month
• The top five most popular posts were: Can you store khernips? (321), Which Gods should you worship daily? (300), Kharis (Χάρις); our relationship with the Gods (219), PAT ritual announcement: the Elaphebolia (192), PAT ritual announcement: the Pandia (152)
