Making some progress on the WhereAreGames site. It is kind of slow going do to some of my ideas. I have been able to water some some of the ideas and making some progress. My current hurdle is learning how to apply the File System Access API. I am hoping to use it to save and load files from the system, to make templates easier to transfer from one browser to another. From what I can see it is a pretty straight forward API, the difficult part will be building and reading the file. Which is where I am at currently. I hope by the end of the month I will have the dev site with a beta version of what I am working on.

Stats wise WhereAreGames had about 36 unique users, 22 of which was on the same day and more than half of those were with a headless Chrome, AKA junk/spam hits. There were a couple return visitors, but looking at the logs had a the dashboard load about 12 times and looks like the manifest was accessed 6. So I have a few users still, which I think is somewhat satisfying.

As for DynaBallot had about 12 unique users, a bigger distribution of browser types. Looking at the logs a couple tried accessing the admin site, but no login attempts. Still disappointing stats for the site.

For the SEO, things are still flattish with the WhereAreGames on the Google side though with a couple impressions, though on Bing it is getting lots of impressions. Topping out at 12 impressions for WhereAreGame site on Bing, though not much for clicks(one step at a time). Pretty much the same with DynaBallot, I have a few impressions on Google and a many more with Bing. DynaBallot even had a few click throughs.
