Why Site Meters Are Great

Everyone who contemplates running a blog should add a Site Meter. It's a great way to keep track of how many visitors you get each day. Also, because it lists the visitor's IP address, you can tell how many unique visitors you have and how many return visitors.

You can even figure out, by using the Visit Details function, whose IP address is being used to leave comments. That way, if the comments get out of control, you always have that path to track back on.

Just a Helpful Hint in case you're considering running your own blog.

WE WON

Editorial Note: All you folks getting here from D Magazine: Welcome. I just wanted to say, before you read this; this post was my idea. Me. Steve Riley. I didn't ask anyone on the NSO Committee if they thought it was a good idea. 

It's my post. 

No one's ever accused me of being a diplomat, but I've played nice throughout the many months of this NSO, even when others weren't. I've been called a jackass, an idiot, a criminal, a vote stealer and worse, and all those things in print - except criminal, which you'll read more about down the page. So, after you've read all this, and the hilarious mud-slinging comments that arose from it; remember, it's between two of the neighborhood's crankiest residents; me and old what's-his-name.

So, read on! I haven't changed a word. Just added these few in italics. And when you're done, click HERE and read the whole blog. There's lots of good stuff here if you're considering an NSO for your neighborhood.

Just a few words to say;

WE WON!

As much as I'd like to write more, I really need to go celebrate now. But very soon I will be posting a blow by blow of the City Council meeting, highlighting all of the heroes - and antiheroes - of the day. It was a memorable experience, made especially more memorable by Mason Coplin storming out of Council Chambers and announcing, "Congratulations, criminals!" to all of us Pro NSOer's, proving, once again, the depth of his wit and intelligence.

But the insults didn't stop there. But that will have to wait. Like I said, time to celebrate!
