Over a hundred visits on the first day, thanks in part to a front page plug at www.battlereports.com (where I rate reports in my spare time). Nedstat is a really good tool for watching site statistics, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a website. Plus, it's free and discrete, with no advertising requirements.

Nothing really new to report today -- I've added a few leftover Cat pictures to the Photos section, and I'm winding up my major projects at work so I can end on August 7 with a clean slate. Then it's a week of cleaning, packing, and miscellaneous gallivanting before I'm off to Tallahassee.

Should I post my news in chronological order, or latest news first? This way is great for regular visitors, but it will probably be a pain for new folk to review later on. Of course, that's assuming there'll be new folk several months from now -- people's visiting habits can become notoriously incestuous over time, until they forget that the Net exists beyond their handful of favourite bookmarks.
