Who reads my blog? Send me an email or comment if you do!
I’m interested to find out who is reading my blog. Following the lead of Jamie Tanna who was in turn copying Terence Eden (both of whose blogs I read), I’d like to ask people who read this to drop me an email or leave a comment on this post if you read this blog and see this post. I have basic analytics on this blog, and I seem to get a reasonable number of views – but I don’t know how many of those are real people, and how many are bots etc.
Feel free to just say hi, but if you have chance then I’d love to find out a bit more about you and how you read this. Specifically, feel free to answer any or all of the following questions:
- Do you read this on the website or via RSS?
- Do you check regularly/occasionally for new posts, or do you follow me on social media (if so, which one?) to see new posts?
- How did you find my blog in the first place?
- Are you interested in and/or working in one of my specialisms – like geospatial data, general data science/data processing, Python or similar?
- Which posts do you find most interesting? Programming posts on how to do things? Geographic analyses? Book reviews? Rare unusual posts (disability, recipes etc)?
- Have you met me in real life?
- Is there anything particular you’d like me to write about?
The comments box should be just below here, and my email is robin@rtwilson.com
Thanks!

Hi Robin, I get your blog posts via RSS probably because you’re in the Planet Python aggregator. I like being pointed to interesting stuff by blogs like yours.
I subscribe to the Planet Python RSS feed, and that’s where I saw this post. I can’t recall if I’ve seen any of your prior posts. Looking through the posts on your home page, I’m most interested in anything about GIS, Python, and general programming.
via RSS – Jitu from Pune,India.
I follow links from Mastodon or Discord.
via RSS Planet Python
I use the RSS feed. I’m interested in geospatial data, GIS and python.
Hi Robin, I follow via RSS, and I originally found your site via Mastodon — I think someone I follow must have interacted with a post of yours. I’m interested in programming, geospatial data, and disability topics you write about.
Your Python-related blogs appear in an RSS feed to which I subscribe: Planet Python. I’m also a GIS enthusiast, so I was pleasantly surprised to find many GIS articles on your website. I look forward to learning more about Python and GIS through your articles.
* Do you read this on the website or via RSS?
This is the first time I have read it. Unfortunately, it is 3:08 AM PDT and I really should be in bed. Hours ago. So I am bookmarking it and return to it later.
* Do you check regularly/occasionally for new posts, or do you follow me on social media (if so, which one?) to see new posts?
Not yet.
* How did you find my blog in the first place?
I found a link to it at https://freegisdata.rtwilson.com/
* Are you interested in and/or working in one of my specialisms – like geospatial data, general data science/data processing, Python or similar?
Yes, I am interested in analyzing surface freight traffic with a view towards moving more freight from trucks to trains.
* Which posts do you find most interesting?
I don’t know yet.
* Programming posts on how to do things?
Yes
* Geographic analyses?
I think so.
* Book reviews?
I think not.
* Rare unusual posts (disability, recipes etc)?
No
* Have you met me in real life?
No, but I would like to.
* Is there anything particular you’d like me to write about?
How to integrate data into GIS systems. I have data on trucks. I have shapefiles of roads, railroads and states. Now all I have to do is marry them. I am a student and I am very young (actually, I am 66, but never let facts get in the way of a good story) to GIS.
