I’d say ditch Sitemeter. They blamed it “a bug in Internet Explorer, which the Sitemeter developers didn’t account or test for”. Any web developer that doesn’t test their code in IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 9, and Safari 3 before making ANY release is simply careless. As much as I’d like to, you can’t just code for standards compliance and expect that all the browsers will work.
I’m thinking about doing exactly that. My hesitancy stems from the fact that Sitemeter is my longest running stats package, and I’ve been able to keep a running count with it through the various iterations and hosts of this blog that have occurred over the past two years (I don’t have anything that goes back to the first version in 2003).
That’s why Sitemeter shows 32,000 more hits than Activemeter does.
I may just disable it until they come up with a fix.
If there’s one thing I regret in life, it’s not taking any courses in theology of philosophy when I got the chance. Of courese, back then I was a cafeteria Catholic at best…

Bah! If it were me, I’d write my own and try to export the history from Sitemeter.
That’s why you make the big bucks in the land of tech-geekdom and I eke out a living in PR and dream of going back to school to teach Theology.
Steve,
