I had thought about this the other day, but it didn’t immediately work as easily as I expected. On my webhost, I’ve added a symlink to my referrer log file in my blosxom directory. I also made a custom shell script that Blapp executes to synchronize my blog entries. That script does a two way rsync so not only does it publish my latest entries from the laptop to the webhost, but it also copies the referrer log from my webhost to my laptop. The script looks like this (with some mods to protect the innocent and a line continuation backslash for presentation):

#! /bin/sh
rsync -Cavz -e ssh --delete /Users/gvaughn/Sites/gigavolt.net/blosxom/ \
userid@webhost.com:/WebSite/gigavolt/blosxom/

rsync -urptgovLz -e ssh --copy-unsafe-links \
userid@webhost.com:/WebSite/gigavolt/blosxom/ \
