About this Blog - 4th ILB Birthday came and went

Darn! I meant to make a big deal of this, but then forgot!

The Indiana Law Blog had its 4th Birthday on March 16th. To see the first entry you'd have to go back to March 2003 on the Old Blog Site, which is here. Starting on January 29, 2004, the ILB moved to the NewBlog Site - the one you are reading now.

To belatedly mark this day, the ILB is, for today at least, making its stats available - access them by clicking on the SiteMeter symbol at the bottom of the right column.

Note that there are two categories counted, "visits" and "page views". According to SiteMeter:

Site Meter tracks page views and visits. You may also have heard the term "hits". When someone comes to your site, they generate a "hit" for every piece of content that is sent to their computer. Viewing a single web site page would generate one hit for the page and one hit for every individual graphics file that was on the page. A single page could easily generate a dozen or more hits. When you are browsing a site, every time you follow a link, it is treated as a single "page view". Site Meter defines a "visit" as a series of page views by one person with no more than 30 minutes in between page views.
In other words, "visits" per day is the number that matters, not "page views."

For another ranking, Justia, a site that ranks 1,796 law blogs, has the Indiana Law Blog ranked 10th this week, 8th this month, and 9th all time.
