A lesson in properly closing <script> tags
Here I was thinking that my old TTC map was only helping a few dozen people a day. In goes my updated map and up go my visits by several hundred per day. It turns out that I was closing the Google Analytics script tag in the XML style (ie. <script .../>) and not as <script ...></script>. The culprit? IE, of course, which doesn’t support the former.

Just got bitten by this one.
Doesn’t appear to be fixed in the all-new IE8 either!
