And stories they don't like they try to keep out of the top ten. The numbers in the set above move up in tandem and are still in tandem. The staff they employ to 'shill' vary in their diligence.

I don't even think it would be possible without being server side, if it is possible do you realise the work involved in accomplishing such a task, this just sounds to crazy to me. Counters aren't reliable anyway because people refresh pages etc which give false readings not to mention all the bots hitting the blog each day. stick to google analytics it's more precise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30136383.post-75055902728557428582012-10-31T16:58:19.735+00:002012-10-31T16:58:19.735+00:00I think someone has grabbed the wrong end of the s...I think someone has grabbed the wrong end of the stick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30136383.post-71974879621097743532012-10-31T16:46:05.612+00:002012-10-31T16:46:05.612+00:00One way is to alter the width of the table, which ...One way is to alter the width of the table, which is set to 1646px. If you change it to something around 640px (possibly in the HTML view?) it will fit in, although the contents of the table's columns will be squished a bit.<br /><br />The table width is in this bit (emboldened for emphasis):<br /><br />< table class="GFUQPS5BJP blogg-posttable" cellspacing="0" style="border-spacing: 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(235, 235, 235); border-width: 1px 0px 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; table-layout: fixed; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline; <b>width: 1646px</b>; " __gwtcellbasedwidgetimpldispatchingfocus="true" __gwtcellbasedwidgetimpldispatchingblur="true" ><br /><br />Change it to 640px and it fits in perfectly.<br /><br />Altering the font size in the above to, say, 10px instead of 13px helps with the squishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30136383.post-704227677565335592012-10-31T16:12:54.580+00:002012-10-31T16:12:54.580+00:00I can't align the post whatever I do.

If they're going to manipulate the stats, they might at least try to make it look random!Tapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267094484651413428noreply@blogger.com
