Happy 100,000 visits

I only check my referral stats occasionally, but when mommy bytes hit 100,000 visits, I did want to pause and say, "Thanks for visiting, University of Wisconsin, Madison!" (even though you stayed for 0 seconds).

Back when I started this blog in the blogging dark ages, I would watch my numbers creep up a few ticks a week.  Now with social networking, the blogging community, and all the wonderful organizations that I am affiliated with (BlogHer and kirtsy in particular), I can actually watch the live Feedjit stream and see people come onto the site in real time.   When Knitted Kitties was stumbled in February, I had nearly 2500 visits in ONE DAY and I was in complete awe of the power of the internetz.   It was really cool watching Feedjit that day, where people were coming on every second.  Of course I've said before that StumbleUpon is like a blind date, all hype and no substance.  You can see the exponential decline after the first Stumble day (over-analysis has always been my strong suit).  I took the screen shot early on Saturday so that the decline was not that dramatic. 



Here are the details on the 100,000th visit.  I find it interesting that people are still using 1024x768 resolution, so I've kept the blog template to fit in that size.  It's also a requirement that I use for my user interface programming at work.   Despite the 30" monitors that some of our customers have, there will always be someone with a low-res laptop (including my blasted Lenovo T60 at work) who will be using my software.
