I wasn't very sure where I should start this thread but this seemed like the right place... feel free to move this to the correct location if I was mistaken.

For some reason, my tracker doesn't show the person comming from the correct location. I know this because my tracker caught me comming unto my myspace but I was signed into my xanga account. It shows celestial abyss (my xanga) comming to my myspace... from Atlanta, Georgia... and I live in Kansas... Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but I'll try to answer based on what I think you're asking. The tracker identifies people based on their IP address, and unfortunately this way of "tracking" someone is not always accurate - a person's IP could route to any location. In most cases, the location will at the very least be close to correct, though.

Also, I'm going to move this to Createblog Support for you. =]

I noticed this too. I think what it is doing is tracking it back to where ever your ISP server or whatever is located. Mine shows my location as LA but I live in northern California. When someone from Tulsa visits, it shows their location as an area of Tulsa that no one lives in, but is a majorly industrial area and I assume is likely to be Cox's hub.
