Prometheus 6   

Brief panic-stricken moment

I over-nested some CSS.

Somehow or other I managed to convince Internet Explorer to ignore every <p> and <br> tag on the page, and that the page should be some four feet wide. This would be a real problem, since some 86% of the page views passed thru some version of IE. had to examine every post I made today pretty closely to find the problem.

Bad day for it, because Ampersand of Alas, A Blog threw me some traffic today. Bad first impression to make, and since I'm new I have no reputation to fall back on.

Anyway, it gave me an excuse to look at the site statistics Sitemeter gives up for free. It looks like I may have a couple of people who came through while the site was a mess. Overall, the stats (which I have no business being so interested in at this point) are decent for a blog a couple of weeks old. And I can see where J.G and George made a good impact too.

But what I really get a kick out of is the ones where the referrer is unknown. That means someone bookmarked the site and came back. And even better is the visitors with multiple page views. That suggests I may be useful to someone.

LATER: Blogger has recreated my archives. The links still don't work, but that's because I jiggered with the template so they'd point to the current page. Since I keep seven days on the current page, I figured if anyone would look for something a week was plenty of time.

Anyway, everything I ever wrote for the site is over there.
