In LA

I was greeted by my email this morning with two messages from my blog that there were comments on a post requiring moderation. For the first time since I started this blog, two people posted comments in one day. I think they may be the 2nd and 3rd comments received by this blog ever. This made me wonder, so I took a look at the stats for “Top Page Hits” generated by the prolific Owen Winkler’s BAStats wordpress plugin. It turns out that my post How to play Windows Media files on a Mac has received 141 hits in the past 24 hours. But how could that post suddenly have received 141 hits when the main blog page itself only received 20 hits in the same period? The answer was provided by the same plugin in its “Top Referring Pages” report: the Windows Media post was referred by www.myapplemenu.com as well as myapplemenu.com and the archive page www.myapplemenu.com/2005/06/30/. That’s where all those readers and commenters came from. So welcome, myapplemenu.com readers. Feel free to stick around, comment, leave, stay, whatever floats your boat. I’ll be posting more MacOS X hints as I come up with them. I’ll be checking out myapplemenu.com as well — I’ve subscribed to its RSS feed using the very nice RSS reader NetNewsWire. For some reason, this particular post was attracting lots of comment spam, so I’m closing it to further comments.
