Sorry folks - an error on my end lead to us losing two days of stats. That is now fixed.

Also the registration page was down for 24 hours, but is back up and operational now.



Automated Reminders

Today we upgraded the software to send automated reminders to webmasters who have signed up but forgot to add the HTML to the site. We’ve also shored up our internal tracking methods to notify sites when they may be problems with tracking their traffic.

We now have 363 sites active sites on TOP.ORG. We’ve also started tracking the number of clicks we send every day - that should be an interesting number to keep an eye on. We should start publicly publishing this number in a few days.



Wednesday Roundup

Every Wednesday we are going to try to highlight some of the big sites that are coming around and joining TOP.ORG.

A few notables:

CSS Vault - the original CSS gallery, with over 20,000 RSS subscribers

Design Disease - run by the hugely talented Elena, releasers of amazing free WordPress themes such as Illacrimo and Dilectio

CSS Basics - an excellent and simple 18 chapter guide on learning CSS.

In less than one week we are already tracking over 300,000 pageviews a day, with exactly 350 sites active in TOP.ORG. We’ve also already sent out 13,000+ clicks to our member sites - a number we look forward to seeing grow.

Just released a slightly updated version of our image tracker today - it should help with sites that have darker backgrounds.
