Happy birthday, and thanks for sticking with this blog.

Looking at the statistics, still most my visitors use some Windows machine, but down from the high 80%s to now 58%, with Linux a surprizing 31% - unless those are all spiders…

I get about 200 visitors a day or almost 6000 per month. This would make for a nice party, thankyou

There are over 400 posts, and about 350 comments. Over 10.000 spam comments were recycled into fast food.

Browsers used

Internet Exploder is now below 50%, at 44%, with Mozilla chasing at 35%. If you add the 10% from Firefox users, then Mozilla is actually the number 1 browsing platform, at least here on modifoo. Safari represents about 8%, Opera 2%. The remaining breadcrumbs go to Netscape , Lynx, Firebird, Konqueror, Camino and Flock, all below 1%.

Interestingly, less than a third of IE users have installed the new 7.0 version, while 10% are still on versions below 6.0. If you are one of those, this might be a good time to update to 7.0. Or even better: give Firefox a try. It is faster, more stable, more standard-compliant. And free. The install is quick and painless.

On the bottom of the sidebar you see a graphical representation. As this is only day 2 in the life of this plug-in, the info is yet rather sparse, but already fun to see that my dear readers spread many continents. Norway and the US (some special warm greetings to Alaska are due) are leading, closely followed by Canada. But also Asia, Australia, and Israel. Thanks!

As my blog has grown a bit in readership (now I get a safe 3 digit number of hits per day. Up to 727 on lucky tuesday) - Windows and the InternetExploder have regained a huge chunk. Previously Firefox was leading, but now it is a crushingly clear 72% for IE, Firefox is way down at 21%, my dear Safari at 4% and Hallvord’s (internal joke) Opera at 3%. Mozilla, Phoenix, Camino, Netscape, Firebird and Lynx have all 1% or less. What a pity that a browser that ignores some of the web standards, is the de-facto standard browser.

As far as OSes go, Apple is down to 9%, Linux 1% and the remainder - to look at it in a positive way - supports the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation.

Anyway, thank you to all you 1204 people who have visited my blog in the past 31 days. I am truly amazed. Thank you and good luck.
