April’s Top Referrers (Updated 5/2)

This entry was posted in Modulator on by

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 20 top referrers. Number 20 produced 11 referrals compared to 19 in February. Overall traffic was down about 3.5% which is actually pretty good considering I took a week off mid month and wrote 36% fewer posts. Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
April churn was down with with 6 blogs dropped and 5 new ones added compared to 9 and 9 in March.
Thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge significant referrals from some of the blogosphere’s ‘service’ sites: Technorati, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, MovableType, Blogdex, Bloglines, blogoshpere.us, Sitemeter, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem, Bloogz and Daypop.
All of the blog rolls except the Base Roll are ordered by most recently updated so be sure to ping weblogs.com or blogrolling.com to push to the top of the rolls. These are certainly the sites I tend to look at first and visitors will see you at the top of the roll as well.

Where’s my grape tomatoes?

The joys of govm’t:

Yes, we are also protected from acquiring undersized tomatoes. And here we have a second reason why grape tomatoes are illegal. They’re too small ( freedom from size limits is only for cherry tomatoes or those in trusses ) and they are not sold in trusses…….
So there we have it, in the 4 years since the EU last passed a regulation about tomatoes, a completely new type has arisen which virtually wipes out the type they last amended the regulation for. Wouldn’t it be simpler simply not to have the regulation ?

Makes sense to me.
