Weekend Wrap-up

Wow. I'm humbled by the number of people who stopped by, read, and posted here on Saturday. 24 different comments from different people. I expected 10, tops. If I extrapolate the numbers like politicians do (each contact is 100 people), then over 2,400 people were here Saturday! Wow, I need to do some better writing for the weekends!

Thanks again for everyone stopping by and commenting. If nothing else, it lets me know I shouldn't give up blogging on the weekends (which I was considering).

And as an added feature for those stopping by this evening, I've got a free sneak peek at the next layout for Ogre's Views. The page is currently testing here. The logon section is not turned on yet, it's still testing. If you feel like it, take a peek and see if anything looks incorrect.

The layout is designed for a wide screen -- if you're viewing at 800x600, there's going to be some odd overlap of images -- I think I'm going to insert a redirect if you try and view it with a window width too small (<1000). Other than than, let me know if there's anything you can't read or if it looks odd!

(I've got 1/2 the logon part done and hope to complete it this week).

1 Ogre, I like the new layout, but why not remove the sleeves on your pic (ha ha) and make the Eagle, Globe and Anchor a tattoo on the left arm, or at least add a Devil Dog tat, seems only fitting, don'tyathink?

2 Indeed, that would be really cool. I'll have to look into trying that!

3 The new lay out is so Christmassy!!! Very festive. There will be no Christmas decorations at my blog home. I have to leave that to the IT bloggers. ;-)

4 Thanks, Bou, that's what I was going for!

5 I'm on a Mac, everything looks good when you've got a Mac, including this site.

Since you were curious about who was stopping by on weekends, I thought I'd also mention how I initially found your site - from somebody's bloglist, but I can't for the life of me remember whose, sorry. I saw the word Ogre and I thought, this has got to be my kind of guy. I was right.

6 Hey thanks for the kind words! And you don't know how many blogs I find that way -- I really should map out where I'm going, but it's too easy to get lost in the blog world, isn't it!?

7 Yes, it is easy to get lost out there.

But when I find a site or blog I really like I bookmark it.

This was bugging me - it's akin to not remembering someone's name - and I finally remembered - I found you on Moonbattery's blogroll. Credit where it's due.
