A messy bug was cleaned up that was disabling some of the blog posts from being viewed and has since been fixed.

As for SugarStats itself progression and development is going good as we are still working to finish the feature set for our 1.0 launch. Once they are implemented we will begin more extensive private testing before launch. We’ve also got some great graphing features in place that gives very clear and simple view from the statistics, we think you’ll like those the most.

If you are interesting in beta testing SugarStats you are more than welcome to. We select testers from our mailinglist which you can easily sign up for on the homepage.
