unbelievable...

well, i think my counter works fine now... it appears that my blog was on the most recently updated blogs on blogger.com for a really long time. so far today, i've had 722 hits (as of immediately, that is) and virtually all of them came from there. this doesn't explain why i keep receiving hits from them every few minutes tho. i don't quite understand how people are still being sent from there. last night i was messing with my settings and activated the "block counter from your pc" option. i thought gostats was having problems again because i refreshed a few times and the counter increased by 2, 6, 3, and 4 times (i was refreshing as soon as it finished loading). so i guess the moral of the story is to ping that you've updated your site at 1.11 am and 1.23 am. :)
