We returned from a weekend in Budapest to a record day for visitors yesterday.
Budapest was enjoying balmy Indian summer days and was delightful. A visit to the opera and spotting the school where Liszt taught music were among the musical highlights although the restaurant musicians had their moments.
Looking at our visitors in the round over half have their system set up with US English followed by 15% UK English and another 75 system languages since early August.
We have more than our fair share of Firefox browsers at nearly 15% compared with the general level at about half that - sensible people we'd say as it is our browser of choice. JavaScript and cookies are OK with nearly everyone so we're not too paranoid.
Google is continuing to deliver growing numbers of visitors with the most specific enquiries while Yahoo brings in some broader ones like Steel Drums MP3 and Ask Jeeves the "listen online to ...." type of query. MSN as ever is a law unto itself and very occasionally delivers a composer based query.
If these trends continue there are some clear steers for the future direction of the site and specifically the next priority for experiment and testing.
