I remembered seeing you using a statcounter counter, in-fact you still have the code there, it just isn't working. I recommend that you remove those two pieces of code and stop using statcounter given it's track record. I have a hunch that more security issues have cropped up, that's why statcounter isn't working. Last time it was possible that hackers could gain a user's username and password <i>(basically, everytime someone visits your site, it sends data to statcounter and hackers can exploit this, to gain access)</i>. Anyway, yeh, just thought I'd warn you, there isn't much by way of information on the net, only old stuff. But my gut says this is another security problem. I also recommend not using the same username and password with free services -- Incase their security flops, hackers won't be able to gain access any other accounts else.
