Would that be valuable for you to know? (And when are you going to write something about internet surfing at work? Or would that be a conflict of interest for you...)

I should try that. I bet I'd be lighter!

I fear that the person who recommended that I use Moveable Type is not as au fait as you. Adam,

Might be worth considering.

I wish my enthusiasm for my traffic analysis software were equaled by my enthusiasm for Moveable Type. Not that it's bad software, just I find it very time consuming to learn to do anything with it. I would love a recommendation for a person I could hire to do small, (probably annyoing) Moveable Type stuff each week for me. Thanks for letting me know about this, Adam.

I linked to one of your posts yesterday, and keep geting "403 Throttled" entries whenever I tried to Trackback to it. Finally worked this morning… Incidentally, you need to get your Trackback setting checked.
