Checkin The Stats - February 2008

February has been a rough month. My mother-in-law had to have surgery, I had to fight with credit card companies over errors on their side, and we found out our Golden Retriever has cancer. I’m glad to see February go away.

Let’s take a look at the stats for February.

The top 10 referring sites for February were:

Flopping Aces
Twitter
United Conservatives Of Virginia
