Yea, I can probably do that.

I've also had some complaints about some various formatting issues with the theme I'm using, and I've noticed a few myself, such as it screwing up when viewing the window at anything less than full-size. I like the theme but I may end up having to change it if I can't get it all the problems worked out.

If anyone else notices problems like this please let me know.

I like your blog. And I think I like your politics haha, but I can't really get into the political spectrum in depth and it looks like you go in depth. It just pisses me off. haha but good work. I rarely blog politics, but it has come up, including in my most recent blog post.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I also want to reiterate what everyone says around here about the importance of content.

I started my blog on November 30, 2009 (about 67 days ago) and I have 52 posts so far (not quite 1 per day). So far my site has received almost 2300 visits (~35 visits per day) and almost 3100 page views (~46 per day). I don't think that is that bad, especially since only about 1 or 2 of my requests to get on similar sites blogrolls have been fulfilled.

• Direct Traffic 992.00 (43.34%)
• Search Engines 680.00 (29.71%)
• Referring Sites 616.00 (26.91%)
• Other 1 (0.04%)

That's the breakdown of the visits from Google Analytics. A good portion of the direct traffic (and some of the search engines) came from where I made some comments on a news site and posted my url but it wasn't a hyperlink so people copied and pasted it either into their address bar or into google and then got to my site.

Also in the past few days I have got like 600 search engine visits from some search terms that are in the news that my site is appearing either #1 or close in search engine results.

Some of the referral visits were from commenting on some news sites that allowed a url hyperlink to be posted, some were from commenting on other blogs, and some others were news aggregation type sites that just found my site on their own and correlated my blog post with related news articles.

Anyway, thanks for the advice everyone.

I like the look of your blog, you write very well, I just don't agree with any of it. But, those who do agree with you would probably enjoy your blog very much
