Impressive stats, Oliver! I must confess though, that I, personally, am responsible for most of the hits from USA! USA! USA! And New York, baby (#3 on the city list). And, not to mention, cooperedtot.com – #5 on the referral list! Wow – knock me over with a feather. I had no idea my personal obsessive surfing was banging your excellent blog so very hard! Poor servers…
