Site Statistics
The original version of this site launched
March 29, 1995 at archon.lib.umn.edu, a server I administered at the Social
Welfare History Archives as part of an experimental data management project.
The disastrous results of a failed tape backup destroyed over 500 images, which
had to be rescanned from the original periodicals in April, 1997.
The Organica.org domain name was acquired in November, 1998, and the site
transferred--along with my personal server--when I left the University of
Minnesota.
During my stay at Taliesin West, no fixed IP was available and the site
lapsed from May, 1999 until June, 2001. At that time I began the redesign of the site
into its current form.

I find it extraordinary that so little has been added to the site in the past eight months, but a review of the Grinds confirms the adversity of that period. However, that factoid does not reflect the database changes and other work done, such as technical infrastructure, so I haven't been totally a sloth.

The above figures are "clean," meaning that the numbers represent actual user access and exclude the probings of bots, web attackers, etc. I find it extraordinary that the P&E essay outranks the home page for usage by nearly twenty percent!

Raw server summary from 1/1/2003 - 7/17/2003

Those numbers need to be discounted about twenty percent for technical reasons. Still, that's a pretty strong interest in an architectural firm whose doors closed eighty years ago. The P&E site is also the top return on Google for "Purcell and Elmslie" now.
Here's the page breakdown.

I find the interest in the Grindstone astonishing, but perhaps it is the only blog on the web about P&E. By comparing the figures below with the new ones, my slow but steady progress becomes evident. I could sit here for a year without distractions and not have everything up and done that wants completion. Ah, for the old days, when there were grants for this sort of thing. What I could get done!

6,146 individuals have visited once, with 1,144 repeat patrons. 95 percent are from the United States, but the other 5 percent represent 71 foreign countries, including 5 from Iran and 1 from North Korea. One visitor who kindly corresponds occasionally with me from Wisconsin has spent the most time: 8 hours, 48 minutes, though two others are nipping at his heels: 8 hours, 20 minutes and 8 hours, 3 minutes, respectively. The average visitor, among those 5,002 who ventured here only once, spends 6 minutes. This site ranks number 1 on Google searches for Purcell and Elmslie, is listed 3rd on the Open Directory, and can be accessed from all the major search engines.

believe).
The P&E Top Ten Commissions as of this date:
- Josephine Crane Bradley summer residence

- Alexander Brothers, Factory for the International Leather & Belting Corporation

Edward Goetzenberger residence
Part of that ranking is an artifact due to alphabetic listing, and part to the still uneven development of the presentation across more than 400 commission numbers.
