Site-Meter

Site Meter is an online tool that tracks the visitors to a website, temporarily recording what city they're from, what time they check your blog, how long the visit is, if they clicked on a link to take them somewhere else, etc.

Well, when you ship off a lonely husband to the Big City to work, and he can't get home because of humongo snowstorms, and he has to spend the evening at a friend's, .... guess what? Your site-meter readings go off the chart as he goes blog-surfing to amuse himself!

We're hoping we get to see him tomorrow night, but it probably depends on when the storms stop. In the meantime, three of us here still have to get to work in the morning. Yikesy.

  2. It took me weeks to learn to write emails. I haven't got the foggiest idea HOW site-meter knows what it knows. It tells me where you're from, which ISP you use, the quality of your monitor, what browser you're using, and something about Javascript (?).

    I do appreciate it when "anonymous" people sign their names because there could be several different people that are reading from your city & ISP.
