    The only thing that keeps from from continously checking my logs is the need to develop new content.

    Anybody need a job? ;)

    My goodness. I thought I was bad with my regular Sunday morning download and analysis of log files. I still use the trusty old analog which involves FTPing, selecting config files, and general button pressing. I suspect I'd be a daily addict if I used the instantly accessible logs from the server.

    Umh, well, for a long time I didn't look in my logs at all.

    Yesterday I looked for them the first time... Downloaded the file and went through it manually, mostly to get referers and search string (and what search strings + what sites make the visitors stay and look at more pages).
    I'm about to install a logfile analyzer now, to have a more comfortable access to the log. I guess I'll be a daily addict then - I love statistics in EVERY way, no matter what's it about.
    I have a statistics-fetish :D
