You may have noticed that there’s a new little link at the end of each post that says “hype it up”. It’s a tracking mechanism, kind of like Digg (if you know what that is). I registered at a site called BallHype, which tracks sports blogs. If a particular blog entry gets enough ‘hype’ (i.e. readers click on the ‘hype it up’ link enough times) it’ll show up over there, which might just send a few more readers over here. A tiny way for us to get a bit more visibility. And a decent spot to find cool hockey blogs, if you’re into that sort of thing. Which you are, because you’re reading this drivel.

So hype up the posts you like. It’s not gathering personal information on you or anything, unless you sign up over there. I totally understand if you can’t be bothered to click on a link every once in a while- I have a remote control for a fan in my bedroom that is literally three feet away from where I sleep. And here I was using my arms like a sucker.
