Stat Counter

Further to my queries about WordPress’ blog stats accuracy, I went googling for a free stats counter. This one’s pretty good.

Are Blog Stats valid?

I just passed 500 hits. Now, many of the first couple of hundred are just me browsing without being logged in (this is my home page, and the cookies weren’t being kept for a while there…).

The number goes up by about 10–15 a day, but I didn’t think I had anyone reading this? Surely it’s not being hit by Google and friends that often, is it?

If you’re a regular visitor, drop a comment and let me know

Google Mail

Google have openned up gmail to anybody with a mobile phone. I guess they still don’t want just anyone (like a robot) signing on…

Thanks Matt and WordPress crew!

Sterling job, guys.  I didn’t expect WordPress.com to be sending people in on Easter break to fix web servers, but you’ve put it back online quickly and without fuss—for a free service, this is excellent!

Cheers, and I hope you still had a happy Easter break.

Migrated to WordPress

Well, here is the new WordPress version of my blog!

So far, I’m pretty impressed with WordPress. The code is much cleaner than Blogger, its post editor is far superior too. I love the Categories, they work much easier than the Blogger + Delicious kludge I had at my old blog.
