Yesterday afternoon our periodic newsletter went out to subscribers, in shorter-than-usual format due to time overcommitments. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you really ought to; sign up here (requires Google registration).

The site was down for about half an hour yesterday, which may or may not have had something to do with our meat-packing post getting Fark’d, bringing in a big surge of visitors. In general, traffic on the site has been up markedly since the redesign/rehosting a month and a half ago. Could be the more search-friendly URLs, could be the experiment with comments on some posts, could be increasing numbers of RSS/XML users — hard to tell exactly.

The comments experiment notwithstanding, the letters to the editor feature should be restarting before long. There are many good reader letters in the pipeline.
