Leonardo da vinci Question One
What did Leonardo da Vinci feel when his twenty-four foot high model of the Sforza equestrian monument was destroyed by the French archers when they used it for target practice in 1499? He spent almost ten years studying and working toward this masterpiece. The actual bronze statue was never built but Vasari described it as “never a more beautiful thing or more superb.” In 1500 Leonardo moved to Florence and focused his efforts on painting.
I know what I would feel. I would have already said goodbye to it long before it was destroyed.

Hey John,
I got the site meter from:
http://www.sitemeter.com/
You have to create a username and password. I don't recall all the steps, but it leads you along the way. I do remember, however, that when it asked what blog script and/or html editor I used, I just selected the basic/notepad one. Then it gives you a snippet of code that you can paste in where you want it into the main archive template. Probably immediately after your links section would be a good spot. They have the optional java script code, which doesn't work for everyone, that allows you to see where your traffic comes from. If you're only concerned about a raw count, the java script version is probably an unnecessary hassle. Good luck.
