Caressed by one hand, hit by another
You may have noticed a slight revamp on the VP homepage. Having discovered the Feedburner Headline animation tool yesterday, my life in terms of updating the HTML of the VP homepage just got a whole lot easier. Allowing an easy view of the latest posts on the associated VP blog sites run by myself and the man Grebo.
This also kicked my arse into gear to contain the info on the homepage in a better way - was never satisfied with one long column but could never find the time to update it into tables. I think it looks a lot better now and doesn't really hide anything away from those unwilling to scroll, which was always a worry.
It appears though that I needn't worry about attracting the hits too much as a look on the site stats shows that the monthly hit rate on www.vanityproject.co.uk has doubled in the past year from 300/400 to 800/900. There was a massive surge in the summer of this year with a record 1205 listed in July.
I'd like to think this was due a period of legendary writing or excitement about our Magic Band interview. However the knowledge that Steven Page of the very popular Barenaked Ladies has a side-project called 'The Vanity Project' which released a debut album in mid-June brings the VP ego back to terra firma with a sickening boney crunch.
Still, all publicity...
If anyone has ended up here looking for information on said band - buy their record here.
