I’ve just come to the awful realization that I haven’t been collecting any visitor statistics from Jylanization (now Yeppoon Blogging) since May 5th, when I updated the Freshy theme that I was using there to Freshy 2. I don’t know why I didn’t find out about this long ago, but the fact remains that I don’t have any statistics from over 2 months of blogging.
The good thing is that I’ve actually been getting more visitors than I thought, and that’s enough to make anyone happy 
.
Please tell me if you’ve ever done something like this so I’m not alone in my embarrasment!

Hi Jylan Wynne,
Sometimes we forget small things, like to include the tracking code in the new template.
Tracking the visitors is really very helpful for me, because, I can care about what I’m writing when I know what my visitors want. For example, I can compare my incoing searches, what most of the googlers were searching when they came on my blog…
By the way, stats help me to improve site appearance, because, it will make me download any browser I see in the stats collected to check if it’s compatible with my site.
Hi Jamal, thanks for your comment

Yes, search engine traffic is the main reason I use tracking code, its so fun seing all these visitors arriving that I wasn’t seeing before!
And what you said about downloading browsers reminds me that my Yeppooninfo.com/articles site looks horible in IE6, must fix that up *screams*.
