My host provides a breakdown of the traffic on both my personal site and the Shen website and the figures are 80,000 web pages hit a year for Shen and 33,000 pages for my personal site.  The last figure surprised me because I've put zero effort into that site for years.

But it contains a lot of popular essays, and because I'm diversifying my work this year, I thought I'd revamp that site.  The look is fine, but the technology used to build it, FrontPage Express 2003 :(, is old and so I built a Shen generated site.   Unlike the Shen site I used a list-oriented style sheet rather than a string and the result builds a lot faster - 0.23s.  Of course the site is probably 50X smaller than the Shen site which totals around 882 web pages. 

The site looks much the same except it has a generated using Shen technology at the bottom of each page.  I'll post from time to time about new content on this site.

Actually checking the Fasthost figures it may be between 80,000 to 100,000 page hits a year for the Shen site.
Fasthosts has recently brought analytics into its service so FWIW here are weekly page hits since the service
began.
