I finally broke down and went into the webstats program. It lists how many times each and every file on my website is requested. Took something like fifteen minutes for it to finish loading all the data and display it on one massive, memory-devouring page. (There was a ton of usage data I didn’t care about mixed in there.) Firefox whined and complained and staggered under the burden, and it took me a while to sort through the mess and find the three files I actually cared about. I wanted to see how much the style.css file was used for each of the site themes. The result:<\/p>\n
\/TSEvil\/style.css: 98,980
\n\/TSGood\/style.css: 1,948,447
\n\/TSNeutral\/style.css: 132,447<\/tt><\/p>\n
(I think these are requests for the month of February, although I don’t remember and I’m not loading that page again without a gun to my head.)<\/p>\n
If I didn’t botch my calculator wrangling, this means that the usage of site themes breaks down like this:<\/p>\n
4% Evil
\n89% Good
\n6% Neutral<\/p>\n
Now, good is the default, and I’m sure a great majority of visitors don’t even notice that they can re-skin the site like that. (If you’re one of those people and you prefer to read white-on-black: check the sidebar.)<\/p>\n
I’ve been wondering about this for ages. The theme switcher isn’t used nearly as frequently as the comments might suggest. Still, now we know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
