Traffic Increases

Wow. I just went to the Sitemeter Who's On page for my site. It will be different by the time anybody seeing this post clicks on it, but it is now showing 25 visitors on right now. (Sitemeter defines "right now" as within the last 30 minutes.)

That is the highest I've ever seen it by far. Prior to this year I'd be lucky to see one or two people at a time on there, and there were often zero. Recently, having 5 to 10 has been common. But 25. Woo!

Almost all of that traffic has been going to the Electoral College Prediction page. Traffic to that page (and some excess which spills over to the rest of my site) has just been going up and up and up. I suppose there is a chance the trend will continue up until the election... then crash back down to zero. :-)
