After noticing yesterday that my blog was attracting a lot of attention from the lunar eclipse searches I just had a look at FeedBurner’s stats for the day. Not often you see an increase of 7300% on a search term hitting your blog. 🙂
It faded away so fast that I’m sure I missed loads of good photos. There are some more on my Flickr account if you’re interested.
With Spring being in the air and all that I decided to give my blog a bit of a dust and a new set of styles. Gone is the slightly dull, green and olive look that I had and in is a new vibrant and clean style. I’ve also changed a couple of the sidebar…
