由于一些“网络”原因，博客又有几天无法从国内访问，也停止更新一个多礼拜了～希望这次恢复之后能少点麻烦啊。。。

Google Chrome的流行程度恐怕已经不止是铺天盖地了～～

查看了一下这两天我博客的访问数据，发觉用Google Chrome的已经占到了6.76%，超过了Opera和Safari的总和，真厉害！

1. IE --- 48.22%  
2. Firefox --- 38.42%  
3. Chrome --- 6.76%  
4. Opera --- 3.04%
5. Safari --- 2.95%

同时也注意到IE在我的访客里已经不足一半了，毕竟玩美化的都是乐于尝试新事物的啊～
