Stat Chart Quick Switch
Back in the day we added the ability to chart weeks and months in your stats section. It looked like this:
The bummer was whenever you clicked one of the links it would have to reload the entire page, slowing down the gratification of checking your stats over and over. No longer!
Now when you click the tabs, which look like tabs instead of links, they’ll instantly load a new chart, or at least as instantly as we’ve ever pulled up the chart.
Also: The bars also now slide from the bottom, and there’s slightly different styling on the tables. The bottom-left box tells you when your best day was, instead of just giving you the number of views.
P.S. We haven’t done as good a job as we used to about blogging the constant improvements being made to the site. (We deploy changes to the site anywhere from 5 to 20 times a day!) It’s something I think we can do better in the rest of December, and hopefully keep up the good habit through 2008.

Matt:
You may think you “didn’t do a good job” – but I think you and the staff are the greatest. Despite WordPress’ growth – you still remain regular folks and I want to commend you for that.
Thanks for all that you do – and you do it well.
To the folks at WordPress – a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year (or Happy Hannukah, if that is the case). Happy Holidays!

Ooooh snazzy! Only one problem though, the stats seem to load on the right side of the screen instead of straight under the Days, Weeks, Months tabs. I’m not sure if it’s just a problem with me or with a few people but I just thought you should be made aware of it. 🙂

Alright, this change is very nice. And I really like the addition of it telling me when my best day was. Especially when you have the link in there so I can go see other stuff about it. That’s just some great thinking.
As for the updates, why not just shoot for once a day instead of a major update? Really big things could always have their own post, but for not so big stuff an entire post isn’t really needed.

I love everything that I can do with it, and I probably use it a couple dozen times a day, so tyty. Having said that, I’d really appreciate being able to see back further into the past sometimes. For instance, if I were to check it out now, I’m guessing that I can’t see anything prior to 11/20 or thereabouts. It’d be cool if I could drag the display sideways (or up and down) the way that you can with the Google Maps display. No biggie, I’m happy, but seeing how it’s Xmas and all… 😉
