About one month ago, the Yale Journal of Human Rights blog was born. While I crafted its first piece (FAQ: The Yale Journal of Human Rights), Oscar Pocasangre handled the web design, and through word of mouth, emails, and a lot of persistence we expanded our audience and recruited more contributors. Now, through a massive group effort – far beyond just Oscar and me – the blog has combined creative elements with academia and politics, making it a legitimate and engaging forum for human rights discussion not just for Yale students but for all sorts of people around the world -- college students, professors, human rights experts, former politicians and government officials, and even a national organization in Egypt have all sent us their best wishes and encouragement. Congratulations to all our contributors! We are in a truly happy relationship with our little web space that is making a lot of noise; so happy one month anniversary, baby, and happy reading to our followers!
Although the blog is still in its beginnings, here are some interesting facts after just one month:
407 different people have visited this blog 1,625 times.
The average time spent on the website is 3 minutes and 57 seconds.
Unsurprisingly, though interestingly enough, our map shows 0 visits from China; however, we know people have accessed the blog from China through a proxy server based out of the U.S.
In order from greatest to least visits, the countries that most frequent this site are: the United States, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Peru, Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories, El Salvador, Denmark, Germany, France, and Canada.
On average, 60.93% of the visits we receive everyday are from new readers.

Aw shucks, this is just great.
A very special thanks to: Oscar Pocasangre (our resident web designer and Internet mastermind) Max & the Timothy Dwight Blogspot, and Meredith Morrison for getting the ball rolling and maxing out on the publicity work.
