I never considered myself a lurker but I guess I have been lately! Creepy. Anyway, I left OR to attend college and have not moved back since. Until the election season, I never felt compelled to check out any AC blogs, but with all the drama that in a lot of ways affected my family, I got sucked in! Over the past month or so, I have been regularly checking in with you, Netmom, and AT2, all regular posters in the Oak Ridger's forum. I find the information you guys post informative, entertaining, and it makes me feel more in touch with my old home town so thank you! Katie (Lantrip) Archambault O.k.

You're not alone in moving out of Oak Ridge and never looking back. There's a serious lack of people here aged 20-50. Cathy - We like smart mouths. And smart asses. :)

I'm trying out <a href="http://www.headzoo.com/live" rel="nofollow">Live</a>, a plug for WordPress 2, that uses AJAX to show the current activity on your site. I have it set up on Reality Me and Domestic Psychology at a 10 second refresh and am tickled with the results. It is interesting to see 192.168.1.200 is reading from RSS 2, while 10.0.0.28 is reading from RSS, 10.1.0.197 is a fresh hit to your front page, while 192.168.0.32 is reading an archive referred by http://atomictumor... and so forth. I haven't reviewed it yet but hope to post something this weekend after figuring out the pros and cons. If the status window stays blank for any length of time I certainly wouldn't use it as a measure to think that your readership is down. Mine has stayed blank the entire time I have typed this comment (twice) and I was hoping to get a screen shot. Not sure what just happened but I’ll retype.
