Mutual Plug

I just got a ping back on the new Footnotes plugin from a clearly new/experimental WordPress site in German which was sporting a fantastic look by Phu Ly developed as part of his Theme A Day series. It reminded me that I should join the masses and give his great work a plug.

Growing with pace

This site is by no means a high traffic place. In fact, according to Google Analytics, most days I struggle to get too far past double digits for the number of visits.
