So I'm trying some new things with my blog. I honestly have no idea how many people view my blog - its kind of just sitting here on the web with more posts than I thought I had actually written for it. So, I'm kind of curious what kind of traffic I'm getting (if any) and what people like looking at. Recently, a tool for weblogs called Performancing Metrics was released, and it kind of looks like it will do what I want it to. I now have a tool to tell me how much traffic I get to my blog and find out once and for all how many people don't feel like leaving comments on my posts ;^P.

The other addition is adsense banners. I figure that while I'm at it, I should try out the google ad banners thing. I don't expect to make money from them. Mostly, I'm just trying it out to see what its like (the whole system behind the ads for instance). Of course, I won't complain if you feel like clicking a link or two that interests you ... I will get paid for those clicks, so click away! If I really cared, I would get those ads into places of prominence like the top of the screen or above the links on the right side for instance. But I decided to hide them away so that people won't see them unless they actually scroll down to read my posts.

So umm ... yeah. That's the update for you. I'm kind of not too sure if I like the ads, and might decide to just take them down since I won't exactly get a lot of money out of them. But it's kind of cool to see some of the insides of the adsense program.
