Blog

Ping! Got another one…

I got some good feedback from some friends and family members, and my wife continues to make good suggestions, so I’m tweaking the site here and there. Like, changing the structure of the “content” pages (like the FAQ and the Blog) to accommodate browsers set to less than 1000 pixels in width. Also, it seems that with no ads on the home page, it is not readily apparent what the site is all about (a marketing duh !?)- so I need to come up with something to direct the first time visitor, I guess.

You know what’s fun? Watching the visitor and hit counts go up. Look - another visitor just arrived! I made a web page that runs on my laptop, that accesses the same site stats straight from the AustinMash! server that the PixelList page uses. This way I can check traffic on the site in real time without actually going to the PixelList page and logging another hit. Now, the PixelList site stats refresh every second (the pixel stats every 5 seconds - fairly optimistic, aren’t I?), but my laptop page can be set to refresh from every 1/2 second to every 2 hours. Hey, another visitor - cool! Right now it’s set to update every minute, and I must admit, it’s exciting to see the numbers go up. I suspect, however, that my wife might be getting tired of my constant verbal updates. Look honey - another one!!
