The hot blogs list is supposed to be a daily hit count. The TurnoverReferrersTask is designed to clear the hit counts every night at midnight.

Hello; I am still confused about the "hot blogs" count system. It seems like the referrer table is "zeroing" often. Note that I have many server restarts - should this affect the "hot blogs" count? Also. The org.apache.roller.presentation.TurnoverReferersTask\ is uncommented, does this mean that every day the hot blog count should be "zero'ed"? Below is a mysql query on the referrer table I executed today. Of course, the roller weblogger had more hits in the last few days. I would appreciate your help.
