Traffic corner: Our front page story, reporting jitters in the Labour election camp that Blair is 'becoming a liability', got a pleasing number of hits on the site over the weekend. 20,000-odd at the last count, putting it ahead of the main lead: Food giants told: clean up or face prosecution.
As Kamal, our Executive Editor News, explained on the blog, we ran the food scare story bigger partly because it was sourced to an on-the-record interview.
The last exclusive based on unattributed quotes that we splashed big with was our report in January that senior officials involved in the London Olympic bid privately expected Paris to win. It was all completely true. But when the story got picked up over the next couple of days - and then denied by the bid team - it was frustrating not to be able to name sources to buttress our version.
Meanwhile, back in the world of Blair, politics and Labour's forlorn quest for women's votes (see blog passim), we also ran a neat preview of the government's plans to woo so-called 'sandwich mothers' with sturdier rights on working hours and maternity leave. If you want to check whether we got it all right or not, Blair is talking on the subject on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour around ...er now.
Oh, and the Observer story that got the biggest number of hits on the site this weekend by a country mile? That would be our interview with Johnny Depp. Cute Hollywood A-list celeb trumps worthy political inside track for attention of nation shocker!
