Ok, that’s a dumb title for this post, but deal with it.  After abandoning Flock for several months in favor of tricking out a standard Firefox browser setup, I decided to give Flock a try again.  Fortunately, my timing was great because around the same time as I decided to return to using Flock as [...]

I don’t pay as much attention to blog traffic for FML as I probably should. I know there are a lot of things I could improve if I paid more attention to the various details. Instead, I tend to look for trends and broad numbers and that’s about it.
