The first entry on the blog I’m referring to is (wait for it..), September 24, but in 2007. So it wasn’t even around on the date that WP Stats is telling me was the best day ever. Weird coincidence though that the date it’s stuck on is one day before the first publish date, a year later. Cue the “cut to commercial” sound effect from Lost.
One thought — it was a wp install done via Dreamhost’s one-click (fantastico) installs; Not sure if that might somehow be a factor.
