A long time ago, I mentioned that I was making a webpage about Japanese food, after our trip to Japan last year. This project kind of stalled, and it was only recently that I came across a very similar page to what I wanted to make. Encouraged by Mizuka, the creator of that page, I have decided to post my food page as a category in my blog. Hopefully this will make it easier to finish the page step by step.

About six months ago, I installed some log analysis software on the server, to get some idea of how people find this site. After the initial thrill of looking at it every day wore off (about a week), I quickly forgot about it. At that time, Chizuko's blog about her pregnancy was by far the most popular part of the site, with all her friends visiting for their daily dose, and with the frequency I update my own blog, I didn't expect that to change. Except it has. Our top ten referers (sites that point people to this one) are all Google. Mostly the different country versions of Google images, a couple of them are country variants of the general web search. The top page they refer people to is my image of a sinking boat in Croatia. Chizu's blog is second, then her picture of a Yugo which seems to be a popular joke in car related forums. I'll have to get my scanner out for some of the photos of 3 wheel 2-stroke trucks I took in Italy once. I'll show them joke cars!

Arata now has his own website for his photo albums and videos, so instead of disappearing down the list of posts on Chizuko's weblog, or crawling down the page on mine, there will be a permanent home for them. So if you are a proud grandparent, or just interested, bookmark arata.jasonrumney.net now.

To start with, there are links to the first album of photos that Chizuko posted soon after his birth, the video from my previous post, and a new album of my pick of the best photos so far. Let me know in the comments or an email if there's anything else you'd like to see there.
