So what do you do when blogging gets you down?
You check your referral logs, of course. Instead of the Sitemeter logs, though I went thru the AWStats reports. It has no time limits because it's installed on the server by my ISP and is, in my opinion, about as cool as a statistics package gets.
Anyway,
1- tyronefearless: you can keep my flaming hand on your page, no biggie. If I check back with you in five years and see you're still so deeply into the bling I will be disappointed.
2- I still bug out over being a semi-regular with a couple of Japanese search engines. Explains the Kanji spam, I guess.
3- Semi-speaking of which, I still get the occasional random hit from Rice Bowl Journals, courtesy of some flatteration from TV Poison.
4- We can officially remove 20 or so unique visitors from the grand total, due to referral spam from porn sites.
5- I've been called a Black blogger, a poly-blogger and a classically named site. Now I'm uncategorized. That's cool, I understand. Besides, there's some cool pictures of herons on the page.
6- My third fourth and fifth top referrers since 4/1,in reverse order: The Bloggies at 143 referrals, blo.gs at 153 (this was areal surprise), Technorati at 202
7- The second top referrer looks like an interesting type of referral spam. It's http://ranchero.com/software/netnewswire/ at 227 referrals. What makes this interesting is NetNewsWire is an OS/X newsreader which apparently leaves Ranchero Software as the referrer. The top referrer is Movable Type but you have to add up all the variations folks type into the address bar (movabletype, moveabletype) to know that.
8- I got some visitors from Little Green Footballs. They came and went quietly
