Busy month at work, not much in the way of substantive posting, slow traffic, the Hiphopopotamus lyrics post impenetrably on top, etc. There’s no letdown in sight at work, so I started doing the daily del.icio.us links thing just to keep things moving. Don’t know whether I’m going to stick with it, though. We’ll see. Here’s the complete Google Analytics and FeedBurner rundown for October. Lifetime stats start Feb. 13, 2007.
