You really need to add a blog stats package – for no other reason, looking at what search terms lead people to your blog is a lesson in the randomness of the web (for instance, yesterday 2 people found my blog by searching for “surveillance van”!). Wordpress has its own built-in that I use, or Google Analytics or Sitemeter are both good. Monitoring your hits is a wonderful pastime blending narcissism and procrastination!

Thanks Bob. That’s funny. I see Derek as Flash and Ivan as the Martian Manhunter. I always liked archery, so I’ll be Green Arrow

Congrats to you and the rest of the Extratextuals, Jon (btw, have I mentioned that whenever I think of you, Derek, and Ivan in your blogging identities, I imagine you dressed in costumes like the Avengers or the Justice League?). Looking forward to another year of posts!
