One of the interesting things about WordPress is that it tells you what terms have been used in search engines that have subsequently led someone to look at your blog. Until just now I had never looked at the running total – it is actually very surprising and highlights that there is a single issue that is interesting people more than anything else: cheques.

There are all sorts of reasons why that might be – but one of them is a very real concern about the future of cheques. Government should keep in mind that this is something that is continuing to worry people long after it has faded from the front page. People on low incomes and in voluntary organisations need a real alternative that doesn’t require mastering complicated technologies.

Anyway, I thought that, for your interest, I would share the table of search terms from time-to-time. The number in square brackets is the number of times that search has been made. Perhaps you recognise your own!
