I know. You were probably shocked when you got on your computer and saw that everything had changed here at DARKSAYINGS. There is a reason.
First, we are celebrating 5000 visits in the short, 20-week history of DARKSAYINGS. Second, we are recognizing NBCAM.
When we hit 6000 or November we'll probably change back to the more familiar DARKSAYINGS: Black. Until then, you'd better wear your shades.
Our 5000th visitor was on the blog @ 5:41 PM, Friday, September 29. They were using a computer with Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6.0, using Qwest internet, and in the Pacific Time Zone. (I know it's almost creepy that I know this stuff.) C'mon. 'Fess up. Was it you?
Wow this really pink. I wish I could fess up to it but none very few of those things fit my budget laptop and I have not been in the Pacific Time Zone for about 8 months or right close to that anyway. Love you guys.

What was IP address of the 5000th on Sept 29?
ReplyDelete71.222.52.??? It doesn't give me the last few for privacy reasons. Was it you? (whoever you are)
ReplyDeleteI think I returned a phone call once. Not sure when it was. Could have been tonight Nick.

That IP address goes to the Portland OR area.

Ted I got your message...I will wait three weeks then call you back. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or are there two conversations going on here? OK, person in Portland @ 71.222.52.??? (Win XP, last Fri aftn, IE6, Qwest) step forward and claim your prize!
ReplyDeleteanother reason that your traffic has dropped is that www.darksayings.net no longer resolves to an IP address. The only way to view your site is to go to darksayings.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I noticed last night. I think I mistakenly combined the usual traffic "trough" that we experience at the end of every treatment cycle (i.e., when things are going well people don't check in as much...not to cast aspersions on any it's just the way things usually work) and combined that 15% decline with the extra 15% decline caused by hosting problems. I thought that the change in color made that much difference. Bad call on my part. I'm working on fixing this. It doesn't look good at this moment, but I'll keep trying. However, the poll seems like such a fun idea that I think I'll leave it. I'll summarize in a new post soon.
