It’s a setting I’ve used with GLT to make sure alt texts will never show up as tooltips in IE. Not sure if I will keep this setting or not…

I believe we could say most webdesigners, developers might have pretty the same visitor behaviour, the ones that have their own site, and have left their URL in someone's comments or other ways of social linking.

I wouldn't ask this about most sites, but considering you have a lot of developers visiting and a lot of them use Firefox, I wonder how many might visit using Minefield sometimes. I know I surf the net once in a while with it. I’m curious…can you find out what percentage of the Mozilla/Mozilla compatible, is Minefield?

Given your majority audience, I'd definately have execpted IE to be lower again. Perhaps less focused search engine traffic drives the volume up? And I don't see how its bragging since you've not said 1m uniques per month or anything like that.

My site is a diving site, with a few imaging and css pages I've added from things I've learnt in the last 6 months, so pretty much in your regular category. Amazingly Firefox accounts for 32% over the last 5 months since, I've been monitoring. And let's face it; I don't know anyone who, having changed, has changed back to IE ... none. As IE7 is playing catchup, with nothing new to give us, the Firefox stat will only go up. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised by the ‘regular’ browser stats.
