Upon relaunching my Blog redesign back in early December 2006, I also made the decision to delete all the previously posted stats entries from each month end, covering the most popular entries etc from that month.

The Browser War in 2006
I'm stoked to be able to say that a majority of the visitors to my site in 2006 saw it in it's best form due to their usage of "Firefox" as their web browser. Awesome stuff - no doubt that percentage will climb further in 2007.
