While I still have the Stones echoing in the caverns of my brain, I’d thought that I’d bring us all up to date on the state of the site.

With the visit crash of a couple of weeks ago, I did some searching on the WordPress forums and other Google sites. I gleaned no definitive answers as to why the readership dropped off as they did recently. Perhaps it was Sitemeter, maybe not. I just don’t know. One thing stuck out in my head and that was the reply from the guys at HostGator who said: “Have you made any changes to the code on your site?”

I had to think a bit, but yes, I did. I added a WP plugin which would make our images more Search Engine friendly. I deactivated that plugin earlier this week. And readership is increasing…

However, last Humpday Wednesday, I posted a gallery of Peta Todd pictures. That post has quickly become a favorite to visit. So now I don’t know what to believe. It seems the guys like to view the Humpday Honeys especially if there’s a little nudity involved. Frankly, I don’t blame them (us). I just don’t know what caused the dropoff in visits that last week.

And for some reason, I can’t get that “take me away” widget that I spoke of before, to work. I had planned on placing a Jaunt button (reminiscent of an old sci-fi novel I read) in the right sidebar, but the WordPress widgets feature in my Admin panel won’t cooperate. I’ll keep plugging at it in order to help refresh the site. Small changes are good.

Once again, thanks to Leo LaPorte’s podcasts, which I listen to each day during my commute to and from work, I’m thinking of one of his advertisers, namely Squarespace. I understand that their customization options are seemingly unlimited, all the code is in Javascript, but I just don’t have all the answers. If I import this site to Squarespace, where do all the images go? Will all the incoming links still work? I’m all for ease of use but it’s the fine details that I need before I make any change to this Internet website investment.

I still love doing this every day. It’s a challenge and a lot of personal fun. SixPackTech has become not only a hobby, like the Apple TV, but also a daily goal. Six posts a day with a different theme post each day throughout the week, culminating with weekend Brew Reviews which I try to make a little bit different than what’s offered out there on the Web.

Based on all the jobs I’ve had over the past years, there seems to be an unrelated yet creative, weird, bizarre side-brain that has manifested itself within my person. I analyze the accumulated thoughts and then post those that closely approximate what I think you’d like. On a daily basis.

SixPackTech: Beer, tech, cars, humor… and a babe or two. Thanks for visiting.
