Checkin' The Stats – October 2007

Holy Smoke. November is here. We'll be seeing Christmas decorations in the stores anytime now. Oh wait, they're already there aren't they? Is it me or did the "Christmas" season start way to early this year?

Let's take a look at the stats for October.

The top 10 referring blogs (other than Technorati, StumbleUpon, and BlogExplosion) for October were:

Genki Desu Yo!
Musing Minds
Insignificant Thoughts
