The holidays are upon us and I hope all of you had a delightful and restful break (without too much stress or hassle or awkward family dysfunction). I promise to add new features soon, as well as a new post, just keep your eyes peeled.

Its been exactly 1 month since I officially launched web.without.words and I've reach the 100,000 view milestone (something I didn't expect so quickly). New things to wait for -- a side by side comparison of sites within given categories (comparing CNN to say USAToday, YouTube to Vimeo, etc); a "switch" between the contentless website and actual website, as well as some browsing/searching tweaks. Thanks again to all of you who visit -- be sure to tell you fiends and keep checking back.

If you haven't noticed already, I've attempted to take my own advice, and made the w.w.w. site slightly more uniform and simple (I got tired of the dark/black background personally). Just in time to end the political season (of anger and turmoil) I've added my 2¢ toward the McCain campaign website. Thanks for visiting; more goodness will be on the way soon.

As a designer I become dissatisfied with my "work" immediately after they're complete. That subtle itch to tinker and tweak and prod at the design until its something wholly different; but hopefully better. All that to say I will be working on a completely different yet similar design for web.without.words (I don't I need any gradients and I'm slowly becoming uninterested in the dark/black palette). I've also added a side by side comparison of the wireframe and the original site; a small example, but I believe it helps; as well as adding a link to the original site. Again, thank you all for visiting, I'll continue to do my best to be informative, and provide insightful and educational commentary.

Still want to thank all of you for visiting and posting such nice reviews and comments on your sites -- I truly appreciate it. Quickly -- I fixed the RSS feed to actually point to the correct story/item (that's what I get for borrowing and adapting another feed I created for another site) and I also updated the CNN.com description to include a "personality" profile of the site while still including the previous critique and analysis.

In news from the stat wire (that is probably only interesting to me), 65% of visitors are using Firefox, 17% Safari and a mere 8% using IE. Chome, which has been out for close to 2 months, represent 5.03% of visitors. Nice to see that IE is whimpering into retirement.

Thanks again, more coming in the following week!

Brief update on what is to come here at web.without.words. The first requests were for RSS feeds, which are completed. Then came archives, permalinks and comments.  Today I added this news section and a little "about" area. On the horizon I'll be adding a side-by-side comparison of the websites, and perhaps even some control over the "look" of the site, we'll see; as long as you all behave.

What started off was a fun experiment for myself (on October 8th) has started to explode, thanks to you! I love that all you have enjoyed my meager examples thus far and I promise to work hard to enhance your experience, offer good insight and continue to show you the web, without words. So thank you to Michael/Yewknee, Chris Glass, Konigi, Trey, Matt, Tina/swissmiss, The Letter, everyone who StumbleUpon'd and delicious'd the site (and will). I thank you.

So be sure to keep coming back and checking in, there will be new features, new sites and hopefully it will keep you entertained.
