Winners and losers

I came nowhere near winning the Microbes on Parade contest, and that's cool because if you write well you get new readers no matter where you place. At least it looks like that to me… after both of my entries I got a big bump in visits (relative to my normal visitor count) which subsided, but left me with more regular visitors thanI had befor the bump. Same with inbound links.

Speaking of links, I'm in the Ecosystem twice, once as "http://home.earthlink.net/~prometheus_6/" and once a "Prometheus 6". The difference in the registrations is whether or not there's a trailing slash on the URL. The second registration, without the trailing slash, doesn't seem to pick up internal links link the several I put in my response to J.G. so that's the one I look at. The difference is significant, too. I see myself as a "Flappy Bird" but the other registration (with the trailing slash) shows me as an "Adorable Little Rodent."
