Swollen Pickles website statistics for January 2007

Monday, February 5th, 2007

I know, if your reading this, your as excited about my January 2007 statistics as I am. Well the statistics are really only from 18-31 January 2007, seeing as though it wasn’t until the 18th that I realised setting up an analytics account really wasn’t that hard. Here are some of the highlights from Google [...]

Things I did not know about ‘Days of our Lives’

Monday, February 5th, 2007

As far as soap operas go, I guess they don’t come any bigger than Days of our Lives (or DOOL as web fans call it). I don’t know a great deal about DOOL, and wouldn’t really consider myself a fan. What I do know, courtesy of today’s sponser Soap.com, is that DOOL is facing an [...]

I’d heard the last time they played Melbourne, for the Lateralus tour, they were on stage for close [...]

If your like me and a fan of the Cutline theme for WordPress, then you’ve probably figured out that the upgrade to WordPress 2.1 caused a general violation of the blogroll/sidebar in previous versions of the theme. Thankfully, Chris Pearson is a good bloke, and has provided an update which solves all these issues and [...]
