I recently set up m.thefreshloaf.com so that I could monitor the site while away from the computer. It isn't perfect, but it works fairly well on cell phones or other portable devices like the Kindle.

I'll be surprised if there is a huge audience for this but, then again, it could be handy if you want to pull up a recipe or a photo of one of your recent bakes when you are over at someone else's house.

Cool!

Hi, Floyd.

I am viewing TFL-M on my iPhone. Way fast & easy to navigate.

I'm a "huge audience" after a long weekend in SF, but my diet starts tomorrow!

Ha... I'm getting desperate for the nice weather to get here too, because 6 months of being indoors baking is not good for the waistline.

Traffic

Nods. Traffic is way up.

Take a look at the traffic chart at Quantcast. Up, up and away!

Wow, what's up with March?

You've created a monster :-) I think a bunch of people just went back to work---the count was up to 333 and then dropped to 141. This is interenting to watch...

A couple of the recipes here

A couple of the recipes here (soft pretzels, flour tortillas) got linked to from StumbleUpon, which accounts for a couple of spikes this month. But even if you subtract those out, traffic is up 20% a day from the beginning of February, which was up from January, which was up from December and so on.

I don't know... I've been wondering if with the economy down more people are at home and trying to bake their own bread, both as a way to save money and as a way to find comfort in unsettling times.

I've seen a few references to the lactic acid article as well

What constitutes an 'addict,' a 'regular' and a 'passer-by"? It's nice to have the stats broken down like that.

I'm not sure how they determine who is an addict, a regular, or a passer-by.

Yes, your lactic acid article has gotten the attention of a number of serious bakers. But in terms of just number of eyeballs, here are the top ten pages in March. The second and third are the pages StumbleUpon linked to.
