AJAX Accordion...

I’ve added a little AJAX Accordion to my sidebar. You may have noticed I have a fasicination with where vistors to my site are located, geographically speaking. I will probably be posting an updated Google Analytics map in the next few days just to show my progress towards world domination.

Imagine my surprise to discover that while my good friends from Iceland have finally arrived (þakka þú), I haven’t even completed penetration of the entire United States!

As you can see from the new Visitors Sidebar there are ~~nine~~ seven states holding out on me. I would like to take this opportunity to see if anyone out there knows anyone from the University of Alaska – Fairbanks or University of Alaska – Anchorage, if so tell them to avoid further shaming Alaska by visiting me!

To digress for a moment, seriously Norway, what is the deal? I have been getting a lot of traffic from Finland, Sweden, and even Denmark, but you continue to elude my grasp and so now a special plea:

Norge hvorfor vil ikke du komme til besøk meg for www.stevelongdo.com? Er den språkbarrieren? Til tross forJEG er for gammel å delta JEG ville elske å besøk Oslo i løpet av Kanskje når det ‘russ’ festen er under utvikling.

For my English readers that is a little something like this:

Norway why won’t you come to visit me at www.stevelongdo.com? Is it the language barrier? Although I am too old to participate I would love to visit Oslo during May when the ‘russ’ celebration is in progress.

UPDATE: I picked up two states already! Welcome aboard South Dakota and Kansas. I will allow the sun to resume shining there immediately.

UPDATE2: I’ve received reports that the AJAX Accordion doesn’t like IE 6 or otherwise messes up the alignment of my content? I only tested with real browsers and it worked great with them. I don’t have a Windoze box at home so I will check it out tomorrow at work…

UPDATE3: I found documentation on this problem here and implemented a fix So the 12% of users browsing my site in IE can now see the text of the articles lined up correctly again. Seriously though join the other 88% of visitors using real browsers you can even use this one
