Not at all. I think you have a clearly-stated algorithm that tends to yield highly volatile results for some blogs. (And, to some extent, “gamable” results, as in the days when I added a sentence “This post is not about x, y, and z” where “x, y, and z” were popular current liblog terms, adding that sentence to each of three posts. Shot me up into the top ten the next day.)

I think Hotornot? is great–taken for what it is. Thanks for doing it.

I sincerely hope you’re not trying to suggest that I’ve hooked the “hot or not” code into a random number generator! ;-D

(goes back to rolling the dice)

Leigh Anne: Hope you avoided permanent eyestrain. Meanwhile, things are back to what passes for normal around these parts. (If not, you need to clear your cache…)

Sigh, some days I am a bit slower than others … like today when reading the elevator is out of order sign posted on the inside of the elevator and later followd a facebook link announcing my favorite football team was trading their quarterback.

Hee. Congrats, and here’s to many more musings. Now, if you’ll pardon me, I have to go scrub my eyes! Font abuse!

Ok, it was a bit subtle.

Usually you’d expect to see something like this: http://www.lululemon.com/shop/

But I guess you got me.

Diane, Steven: Everything seems to be working exactly the way my design team planned it. Of course, further tweaks may be possible…

Congratulations & Happy Anniversary!

This is one of the first blogs I subscribed to with my brand new Bloglines account a couple of years ago. I found it ‘googling’ you after reading “First Have Something to Say.”

I like the fun font, but everything is aligned to the right in IE (similar to the Mozilla screen shot provided by Steven).
