Technorati: Linking Blogs

A few random, statistic-related updates regarding TechJapan's growth:

  • We broke 2,000,000 page views some time this month. TechJapan began normal operation  in December of 2003 (the site has actually existed since August 2003, but I was a bit lazy).
  • We now have over 300 members...and a lot of people that choose to remain anonymous when they comment. Hopefully I'll be able to bring things together in the forum, but that's in the coming months.
  • Three members now post articles o­n a regular basis: myself, sar7501, and ando. Of course, we also thank those of you that have contributed content in the past.
  • We've posted a total of 829 articles, give or take a couple I had to delete for some reason. Our posting frequency also continues to climb.
  • 737 comments have been posted...not counting the o­nes I've had to delete :)
Thanks for your continued patronage. Expect TechJapan to do nothing but improve; we've got a lot planned for the site in the near future.

Anyways, I hope to be able to contribute in the future (still need practice with my kanji)

In the meantime, I find that checking "Remember Me" helps.

As for your comments not showing up, well that's related to the server-side caching. Basically, the server stores cached pages for 30 minutes, and it will offer up the cached paged to any user* who requests the same page within that 30 minutes.

*And that's the fundamental problem with PostNuke caching. It is on a per-user basis. In other words, if Guest A and Guest B both request the same page, the cache is useless -- the site must generate the page for each visitor.

Anyway, since you're the first person to say something about the caching, I'll go ahead and turn it off. As I just said, it's not really doing anything anyway; TechJapan's traffic isn't from one person browsing hundreds of pages, it's from hundreds of people browsing one page.

I really do like the site (I prolly check it about 3 times a day)

Keep up the good work
