Hey Matt -- I wouldn't take it personally. I'm sure that Wordpress project of yours will work out okay anyway ;-)

"Yes, Alexa data is suspect, but that doesn't mean trends aren't interesting."

No, no, no, no, no. Not anymore. It's not just the data. The TRENDS are suspect with Alexa.

Don't go there. Don't believe what you see. To find Alexa's "trends" interesting is dangerous, because of the rampant randomness of their data.
