New blog tweaks
I've added two new tweaks (they're not significant enough to be called features) to my blog. Just for the heck of it.
The first I actually added a few months ago, but wanted to let it run for a while to make sure it worked reliably. It is my dynamic "Most Popular" list. This list shows the top 10 most popular (counting the number of requests--not including Google and other search engines) posts to my blog over the last 3 months. It's updated daily. It's interesting to see what people read. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to count anything but archived posts, so the list does not include what people read via RSS feed or articles on the first page of my blog. But it's still interesting.
The second is more recent (just completed today). I've tweaked my list of favorite blogs to show how recently they've been updated. This is refreshed every hour, so it should be fairly accurate. It'll save people from having to click on a link if it's not been updated recently. Maybe it'll also encourage some of those blogs to get more current (heh, I posted the last two days, so I can criticize now).
If there's interest, I will write up how I did these two tweaks. Any other (cool) tweaks you'd like to see?

any chance we can have the write up on the popular links? I'd be interested in that for mine (and my own curiousity) - thanks
