Sure, it’d be nice, albeit lonely, to sit and blog all day and not have to go to work. Apparently, it’s possible for some people.

Links from other sites
If you have access to your web server logs the referrer information can be extremely useful in determining what sites link to yours. Many of the referrers will be search engines which we’ll discuss next time, but there will also be links from other sites.
