Seems like the traffic to the Marble is on the rise. I see a lot of linking going on and the hits, while still in the low teens, are definitely up. My mom says the page is taking longer to load because of the increased traffic. Sorry Mom.

Just a word about SaaM. I host the site on my own server which sits in my office. It's an old Quad Pentium Pro box with a gig of memory. Not the fastest box in the world, but you can't bog it down! Running it out of my house means I have 100% control over my blog which is nice. However, it also means my bandwidth, which is just Road Runner, can get sucked up in the hoopla as well. This blog uses .Text (pronounced dot text) for the blogging software. .

I store any images I have at www.pbase.com. I use PBase for my photography as well (www.pbase.com/scoville). This takes a large burden off of traffic as images tend to be the biggest user of bandwidth.

Anyway, just a thanks to all the people who are starting to drop by. I guess I'm going to have to start increasing the quality of the posts to keep my customers happy!
