Also Mike, if you had comments I would warn you that gzipping external CSS files can crash NS4, which you may want to note in your article. That’s why it’s usually excluded when people run mod_rewrite.
You must have gotten Slurp in a corner up against the ropes where she couldn’t get away: I’m at 7516 Googlebot and only 2780 Slurp. However, I did notice the other day that Slurp’s grabbing my front page every 90-180 minutes, while Googlebot will spend hours sucking down link-and-a-snark entries from two years ago that will never change again.
It DOES seem to have been a slow googlebot month for me…
(As of Feb 23 @ 5AM, I only update my stats weekly)
MSNBot 3590
Googlebot 3208
Inktomi Slurp 2167
Turn It In? 495
Compared to last month:
Googlebot 6515
Jeeves 2470
MSNBot 1766
WISENutbot (Looksmart) 1096
Inktomi Slurp 987
And apparently Jeeves finds me boring this month, with a measly 148 hits… odd!
Impressive! Yahoo! Slurp?
Is that your normal take for googlebot per month? Some people said ‘she’ wasn’t too busy last month…
No it’s not: in January 2004 I had 46,667 visits from Googlebot and 37,016 from Yahoo/Inktomi’s Slurp. Perhaps this is just an off month for Google.

mod_rewrite.Matt, thanks. I will get some comments soon. Maybe I should just go for wordpad instead of dyi’ing..
As for NS4, hmm..
You mean WordPress? Yes you definitely should. 🙂
Okay. I suck. New rules. No more posting anything at 2:14 am after too many coffees. Yes, I meant WordPress.
Anyway, post updated. Thanks Matt, I’m going to sign off before I do myself any more damage!
