318,478, to be exact. That’s how many visitors lindsayfincher.com received in 2008. That’s 26,539 visitors per month and 870 per day. Not bad for a blog about nothing. Yes, it’s Excel. Shutup. Unfortunately, I’ve never really tracked data from past years so I have no idea whether the number of visitors has risen or declined. [...]

Have I ever told you how much I love Google? Yeah, like a million times already. They are currently in the process of uploading all 10 million images from the now defunct LIFE magazine. When I visited the site today, two of the categories that immediately caught my eye were “1930s oil boom” and “Surfing.” [...]

Yeah, that’s right. This bloated website, which is like an SUV on the information superhighway due to my habit of uploading ungodly amounts of images, is officially “carbon neutral.” Apparently, Dreamhost, the wonderful SoCal based company that hosts this website, is now purchasing offsets for the 2725 tons of CO2 they emit every year. This [...]

As you can see, I decided to change up this website a little bit. I was getting bored of all the white space that was being wasted, and I’ve wanted a three column layout for a while. I built my stylesheet using the Movable Type Style Generator and got the basic three column layout from [...]
