> I’m not familiar with Echo, but from what I saw it’s close to ID/DISQUS. Moreover, if it’s just functionality – you can customize those with CSS as you like. $10/month can be a decent hosting plan :)

Boyan, I've looked at both on and off for the past couple of months. I'm not enamored with the designs of either, and so it's been one of those things that slips until something puts me over the edge. I've also been looking at Echo lately, but they keep changing their pricing. Curious if you have any thoughts on Echo (which is $10/month instead of being free, but in the scheme of things that's not a big deal).

Congrats.
You might wanna try a commenting system like IntenseDebate or DISQUS – they’re really adding some interactivity to the commenting process. I’m personally a fan of IntenseDebate, because it’s developped by a WordPress division and it has more integration options with WP.

MarBelle, here are the breakdowns for my site (over the past 30 days instead of all time, so it doesn’t skewer away from recent developments in the Android/iPad world):

57% Mac OS
37% Windows
2% iPhone
1% Linux
1% iPad
0.5% Android

We’re very Mac-heavy, but not particularly mobile!

Hey Ryan, I’m curious as to what percentage of your visitors are weighted towards iPhone/iPad users. As I use both I’m biased in thinking of the viewing experience from the limitations of those devices, plus my gut tells me that filmy folks are more likely to be on those devices. We’re thinking about a complete overhaul of DN in the coming months so it’s been on my mind.

Thanks for sharing your stats, reminds me that I must try harder!

Thank you for keeping us posted on this stuff. I find it quite useful.

I’m also on Chrome. Initially, the box showing how much this was tweeted showed code but shift+refresh solved that.

Very weird. If you hold shift and refresh, does it resolve the problem? I can’t seem to replicate.

Thanks Ajit. I’m viewing it in Chrome right now — what happened for you?

What it does is that the header and the sidebar scroll up but not the body or the content.

Hi,

The site breaks in Chrome. FYI.
