We've just archived Volume 11, Number 11 of Photo Corners on the Archive page with 20 Features, 15 commented News stories, 29 Editor's Notes (which included 157 items of interest), one review and one site note for a total of 66 stories.
A year ago we published 59 stories in November, including 17 Features, 14 News stories, 26 Editor's Notes (with 170 items), one review and one site note. This year, we had a little more news.
We published 166 images in 33 of last month's 66 stories with two holidays and nine stories with gear specifications. And for the first time in a while, we published no obituaries.
We're in danger of becoming something of an assisted living facility for old gear.
WITH FINAL FIGURES still a day away, we saw a 106 percent increase in visits and a 118 percent increase in traffic. Unique sites remained high, only a little behind last month's 12-month high at the moment.
Our top story (and it outran everything else by over 2-to-1) was Running Old Wacom Tablets on Newer macOSes, which illustrated how to install a driver developed by a Nicolas Sherlock to make a number of obsolete Wacom tablets functional on macOS up to Monterey.
We have no numbers on our Fixing a Nikkor Zoom because it was the last story we published last month but we expect it to do well, too.
With stories like those, we're in danger of becoming something of an assisted living facility for old gear.
The rest of the top 10 were Horns broken up by the Canon R6 Mark II story in fifth place.
Our top features were the matinee about the New York City Marathon and our piece on Beaujolais Nouveau.
WE HAVE FELT more than a little uncomfortable keeping our Twitter feed up to date under the company's new -- and clearly incompetent -- ownership. We keep telling ourselves that buffoons make headlines while the rest of us make news. As long as some of our readers rely on the service, we'll keep using it.
Even though, we hasten to point out, our RSS feed is superior, making it easy to know the minute we publish something in an RSS feed reader or an email client like Thunderbird or Postbox.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, we are working on six reviews. We hope to wrap a few of them up in the coming weeks. And if you tap into our RSS feed, you'll be among the first to know when they're live.
