I think I ‘broke’ ClustrMaps
I got this e-mail from them this morning…
Dear ClustrMaps user,
We noticed that the current number of displayed visits to your site http://sirmartin.wordpress.com is 13018 . This is perfectly OK in terms of anticipated visitor traffic, BUT it is just above our recommended ‘number-of-dots-to-display-at-once’ threshold (i.e. for the actual map display) of 10000 for daily updates with yearly archives. Essentially, above a certain threshold it is impossible for the human eye to detect small incremental differences. We have therefore provisionally amended the frequency of your map updates to: weekly.
The GOOD NEWS is that the archive and update frequencies involve a trade-off which you can ADJUST FOR YOURSELF (within limits). For example, we at ClustrMaps prefer a DAILY update with a MONTHLY archive, which gives us a clean fresh map each month, while still preserving the overall totals. The full details of how to do this are described at length on http://clustrmaps.com/timeline.htm, especially the final section of that page, entitled “Adjusting your own update and archive frequencies”.
Please visit http://clustrmaps.com/admin/ to change the frequency of updates and archives, and be sure to check the FAQ page for further explanations.
Many thanks for your continued use of ClustrMaps!

Hey, thanks for using ClustrMaps – definitely NOT broken, just a ‘frequency change’ to keep the servers melting….
Enjoy!!!
