There used to be "guestbooks" for web sites but they died | because of spam, I think. | All servers have logs. You may not have access if you have a cheapo host. Also, if you use a company like Wix or Squarespace you've got a kiddie site that's hosted remotely by them. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't provide logs. Their customers are mainly small business people who don't understand the Web, have no idea how it works, and don't really believe a website is useful to their business. So they go to Wix and get a free site through simple drag/drop and multiple choice options. Your site looks like it's on a standard webhost server. If you have access to upload files to your own server via ftp you should find your server logs somewhere in the file system you're allowed to access. If not, then if you want to you can add a snippet of Google Analytics script. In exchange for letting them spy on your visitors they'll give you access to the data they collect. Personally I find it very interesting and helpful to read my logs. I download them every morning. I have my site hosted on a Unix server. There's a "logs_web" folder with daily logs as text files GZIP-ed. Any other Unix server should be similar. I don't know how Windows does it, but a look through your server folders should turn up the logs. The log is plain text, with a line for each GET, containing IP address, time, request, response, referrer, useragent. I run my logs through a VBScript to convert the IP address to hostname and get a location from a free database from MaxMind. I have a package to get you started here, if you're curious: http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scrfiles.php5#weblog Your site seems to be somewhat private, so maybe you don't have many visitors, but if you do I think you'd find your logs interesting. In addition to getting a sense of who's visiting your site, reading logs also helps to discover broken links or problem pages. And it gives you a sense of how people use your site, in real time. Anyone who doesn't read their logs would likely be surprised to learn what people visit and what they don't. To a great extent it really depends on 1) incoming links that are popular and 2) what Google thinks is worthwhile. I have pages that routinely show up #1 in Google search and other pages that are almost never found. Frequency of page update seems to have a lot to do with it (in addition to relevance of content, of course). That's really a dumb thing to value highly in most cases, but it's how Google works. | On the other hand, I don't like it much when people post messages on | Usenet consisting of nothing but a URL.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itvnQ2QB4yc THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END Better to *listen* to the video clip .... but here are the words:- The air is polluted, the oceans contaminated The animals are going extinct, the economy’s collapsed Education is shot, police are corrupt Intelligence is shunned and ignorance rewarded The people are depressed and angry We can't live with each other and we can't live with ourselves So everyone’s medicated We pass each other on the streets And if we do speak it's meaningless robotic communication More people want 15 seconds of fame Than a lifetime of meaning and purpose Because what’s popular is more important than what’s right Ratings are more important than the truth Our government builds twice as many prisons than schools It’s easier to find a Big Mac than an apple And when you find the apple It's been genetically processed and modified Presidents lie, politicians trick us Race is still an issue and so is religion Your God doesn’t exist, my God does and he is All-Loving If you disagree with me I'll kill you Or even worse argue you to death 92% of songs on the radio are about sex Kids don’t play tag, they play twerk videos The average person watches 5 hours of television a day And it's more violence on the screen than ever before Technology has given us everything we could ever want And at the same time stolen everything we really need Pride is at an all time high, humility, an all time low Everybody knows everything, everybody’s going somewhere Ignoring someone, blaming somebody Not many human beings left anymore, a lot of human doings Plenty of human lingerings in the past, not many human beings Money is still the root of all evil Yet we tell our kids don’t get that degree The jobs don’t pay enough Good deeds are only done when there's a profit margin Videos of the misfortunes of others go viral We laugh and share them with our friends to laugh with us Our role models today 60 years ago would have been examples of what not to be There are states where people can legally be discriminated against Because they were born a certain way Companies invest millions of dollars hiring specialists to make Little girls feel like they need “make up” to be beautiful Permanently lowering their self esteem Because they will never be pretty enough To meet those impossible standards Corporations tell us buy, buy, buy, get this, get that You must keep up, you must fit in This will make you happy, but it never does for long So what can we do in the face of all of this madness and chaos? What is the solution? We can love Not the love you hear in your favorite song on the radio I mean real love, true love, boundless love You can love, love each other From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed Perform an act of kindness because that is contagious We can be mindful during every interaction Planting seeds of goodness Showing a little more compassion than usual We can forgive Because 300 years from now will that grudge you hold against Your friend, your mother, your father have been worth it? Instead of trying to change others we can change ourselves We can change our hearts We have been sold lies Brainwashed by our leaders and those we trust To not recognize our brothers and sisters And to exhibit anger, hatred and cruelty But once we truly love we will meet anger with sympathy Hatred with compassion, cruelty with kindness Love is the most powerful weapon on the face of the Earth Robert Kennedy once said that Few will have the greatness to bend history But each of us can work to change a small portion of events And in the total of all those act Will be written in the history of a generation So yes, the world is coming to an end And the path towards a new beginning starts within you http://genius.com/Prince-ea-why-i-th...uld-end-lyrics |
