About the new theme, and a bunch of numbers

Okay, so maybe throwing a new theme up like that straight away wasn’t the greatest of ideas… but you’ve gotta admit it looks cool. I’ve just patched up the contact page (n.b. the address has changed, coz it’s now managed through WordPress Pages… I’ll figure out a way around this, and both the old form and the new themed one work, but for the time being the address is <a href="/blog/contact/">/blog/contact/</a> rather than the old <a href="/contact/">/contact/</a>), as well as a few posts that were being dodgy… especially with graphics, which’d been designed for a fixed-width site of 600px, as opposed to… whatever this is. I haven’t got time to go slashing at CSS just yet, but it’ll happen, unavoidably! (I’ve heard and completely agree with readability comments… that’ll be one of the first things to be fixed, because it’s a real problem…)

In other exciting news, I just cracked 1GB of transfers this year.. which doesn’t sound like a lot, but I did around 470MB last month, and this month (albeit 4 days in) is looking to be similar in terms of transfers and hits if the trend continues. Last month there were 44,444 hits (isn’t that a cool number?) exactly, probably in no small way as a result of the moderately successful DashLite, which has got a ridiculous number of trackbacks or comments in the last 24 hours (well, I thought it was… shrug!), taking the total number of comments on that post to 15, probably the most comments on any single post on this site.

Now I’m gonna wander off cram for a Business exam I’ve got in a few hours, so I can pack it full of buzzwords and be awarded marks accordingly… *sighs at folly of that subject*
