Thanks for posting the info and thanks for the recognition.

So far, it looks like the Swedish footage has generated a little traffic on my
site.  But nothing compared to the traffic when my site was plugged on
theforce.net or slashdot.org  (or is it slashdot.com)

Ben Fleskes

on a side note, does anyone know if it is possible to determine how much
traffic you have on your site if you do not have a hit counter?  Does
geocities have information on that?

Thanks.

It was placed third on the weekly 'Top Five' list of web pages (all
categories!).


It was a short snip (10-15 seconds?), they just had time to read the blurb
from the 'Top Fem' page: (http://www.filmpoint.se/sajber/ choose 'Topp 5')

"Efter över 200 timmars arbete är Ben äntligen klar med sin modell. Han har
byggt Millennium Falcon, det ökända smuggelskeppet från Stjärnornas
krig-trilogin, helt i Lego. På hans sida finns massvid med foton, information
och länkar till andra Lego- Star Wars- modellsidor. Det här är veckans
tredjeplats"

hastily translated by me as:

"After more than 200 hours of work, Ben has finally finished his model. He has
built the Millennium Falcon, famous smuggler ship from the Star Wars trilogy,
all of Lego. On his page are lots of photos, information and links to other
Lego Star Wars model pages. This is this week's third place."


Congrat's Ben!

You deserve all the recognition you can get. :) It's not possible to tell on geocities.
