The HandsomeWeb Blog

I downloaded my certificate yesterday. That would be my Guinness Book of World Records’ Sanctioned Most Downloads in a Day for Firefox 3 yesterday. Boy, do I need to get out more.

The first site launch of the summer is SlideBracelets.com (not to be confused with SlideBracelet.com - also a HandsomeWeb site). Those folks over at the slide bracelet capital of the world, Gwinn, MI, are pretty fancy when it comes to making bracelets. SlideBracelets.com is another web store from RL Wood Company with thousands of products offered on line. Way more than any of their competitors. Of special importance is the Google results for a search for “slide bracelets.”

SOS Webpages was added to Freshmeat on Friday.  Freshmeat is a rating and project hosting site for open source projects.  One of their claims to fame is they only accept projects that run on *nix systems (Unix, Linux, etc.)  Head over there and give SOS Webpages a good rating.

Churches-in.com achieved one million page views in 2008 by the first week of June this year.  This according to the server logs.  That is inflated because there is quite a bit of BOT traffic that looks like real people.  Google Analytics is more accurate (but underestimates).  Google Analytics has tracked the traffic since April 2006 and  shows 634,350 Visits and 1,282,744 Pageviews

I released SOS Webpages 1.1.2 today.

I wrote SOS Webpages to be the basis of the HandsomeWeb.
