Butterfly Fleet News

This picture represents the internet traffic of the Butterfly Fleet’s blog-style website since March of 2009. Make that the world renown Butterfly Fleet.

As fleet captain, I took over maintenance for the blog earlier this year. I began adding content in December but had no idea whether anyone was even hitting the website. In March I located and added a statistics counter. It was interesting to watch how internet traffic spreads through word of mouth. It was also interesting to see how soon the site was “crawled” and the data scraped so that the text became searchable on the internet and traffic continued to grow. Quite a powerful tool.

Each person that takes over the blog will get to leave their mark. A mark that people all over the world are seeing. A mark that leaves an impression about the sailors and the sailing available on White Rock Lake. The Butterfly Fleet has a very long history at White Rock Lake and some very talented sailors once sailed a Butterfly. If you have any old pictures, stories or ideas that you would like to contribute, please send them for publication. We would love to share them.

The Butterfly Fleet wishes to express many thanks to Shaun Hoffman for setting up our original site. He has been a huge contributor to every club and fleet with which he has been associated.
