I took a dive into my site logs files via Awstats <\/a>and found some interesting tidbits.<\/p>\n

I never liked IE; in fact I refer to it as “IEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”.\u00c2\u00a0 Historically, it has been riddled with bugs, security vunerabilities, non-standard rendering and a general ‘f-you, we know better’ attitude to web developers\/designers everywhere.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve gotten to be such a curmudgeon about it that I generally refuse to use a site that requires IE to function.\u00c2\u00a0 Sadly, it is used by a majority, but shrinking, percentage of web surfers.\u00c2\u00a0 I wanted to see if the folks reading my blog were ‘smarter than the average bear’.<\/p>\n

Turns out, they are, in fact, smarter.\u00c2\u00a0 IE is used by 17.2% of my ‘readers’ while Mozilla(+Netscape) users represent 14.7%.\u00c2\u00a0 That is much closer than users as whole which is more like 75\/25.\u00c2\u00a0 But the surprising fact was that 53.8% were ‘unknown’.\u00c2\u00a0 Hmm…\u00c2\u00a0 Deeping a bit deeper and I found a bevy of RSS readers and a few spiders<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 So it seems that a majority of you are using RSS readers to follow along at home rather than visiting the site directly.<\/p>\n

Interesting.<\/p>\n

The other cool factoid is that I have readers in:<\/p>\n
