When I first launched this web site, I spent quite a bit of time looking at my traffic stats and referer logs. I don’t do that very often anymore (the novelty has worn off a bit), but it’s nice when I do check to see that the number of daily vists has been steadily climbing each month.
The last time I wrote about this, I had just broken the 4000 visit/day threshold (and 1000 before that). This month, I’m averaging over 10,000 visits/day! 😎
Granted, I’m sure the added popularity of feed readers plus the hosting of the Tasks trials on this site has contributed quite a bit to the overall traffic stats. I should try to get a little more specific with the data at some point.
Also, as I’ve done in the past, I’d like to ask you to add a quick comment on this post (maybe how you found the site, or why you read it) to let me know who is out there. 🙂
I found your site when I was looking for WordPress stylesheets. I’ve since started using Tasks and still use WordPress (although I haven’t upgraded to 1.5 quite yet). I’m also a web designer in the middle of learning PHP, so your site is also of professional interest.
I also found it looking for wordpress styles. I’m now giving the free version of Tasks a try. I continue to read your blog because of all the programming/computer related stuff, even if it’s just talking about your own products.
I’m not sure how I stumbled across your blog, probably an article somewhere. I read your site via RSS on Bloglines because you post interesting content. Simple as that 🙂 Keep it up!
I found your site when I was hunting wordpress styles, and stuck around because the blog was interesting.
Found your site while looking for wordpress styles, check back every now and then to see if 1.5 themes have been updated / improved.
I don’t remember why I first came by; it was probably the fact that you were in the WordPress default linkset. I came, saw that we had common interests, and stayed. 🙂
As for stats … man, I’m like you. I haven’t looked at mine in forever.
Like everyone else apparently, I got here while looking for WordPress styles, and kept coming back because, well, you’re interesting. 😉
I found your site when – you guessed it – looking for WordPress styles. I then came across the site again when looking for an online task manager and found Tasks to be perfect for what I wanted. I come back occasionally to check for upgrades but I find your blog and site interesting, as I’m teaching myself PHP and MySQL.
A bit of a change up, I found your site cause Matt was talking about task management and so I came by and fell in love with Tasks. 🙂
I visited once before for WP styles and then subscribed because.. well, Coloradans are cool?
I did not find your website through wordpress or looking for anything wordpress related. I can’t remember why though. I think someone linked to you that I was reading.
I’ve come to your site many times for a variety of reasons. You have wordpress styles, your link is in quicktags.js within wordpress and you have some really useful free js snippets on your page.
You already know how I found you… because I have been stalking you since 1999 with high powered fuel additives. OK, maybe not. But thanks for all the help you give me.
upgraded to wp 1.5 and didnt succeed to get the kick ass photo plugin running yet – located in berlin/germany
Somebody pointed me towards Photos a couple of years ago, and then I started looking at Tasks Pro, and discovered I enjoyed reading your blog, too. 🙂 To be honest, I didn’t connect you in my mind to wordpress for a quite a while, unlike everybody else, apparently….
Can’t remember how i found the site. But i can tell you i don’t know what the hell is Tasks (always skip tasks-related entries), and haven’t seen your WP styles, or WP related stuff (not a WP guy).
I like the blog, so i read it.
just like the rest, i got your link with my vanilla WP installation 🙂
when searching for wp themes
Been reading since I first installed WordPress (pre 1.0 days?) and I’ve been coming back since for the writing and the occaisional puppy updates! 🙂
Hey Alex,
I read your blog because, from whay I’ve seem thus far, you’re an awesome web developer (and you talk about interesting subjects). Please keep it up! I’m not (yet) a registered user of Tasks, but I love your blog and look forward to further postings. Keep it up!
Hi, I lurk for the most part. I found your site when I was looking for WordPress Styles.
In initial WP 1.5 blogroll.
I come back looking for fresh ideas to use on my own blog.
And your posts are a good read, too.
Well done, Alex. I wonder how many people are reaching your site having installed WP1.5. I think I first reached your site and syndicated it due to WP1.2 ‘s default blogroll.
Keep up the excellent work.
Came here because of Photos. I don’t use it anymore for the very reason that I needed it in the first place – I’m just not organised enough!
I keep coming back for the php, mac, indie development, and general ‘stuff’ chat (even though I don’t own a mac it is good to read about). Your “Around the Web” links are probably the real ‘killer app’ for me!
I probably came due to wordpress. I stay around for good quality links and questions.
I found it when I was looking for a WordPress template.
I was searching for “wordpress stylesheet” and zoom, I was on your site!
