The first one is definitely helpful! Thanks for that! Did you ever tried StumbleUpon? Did it worked for you?

Your site looks great. I just joined the Do Follow movement and you're right at the top of the list. I too, plan to take a look at this tutorial as I have had NO success with SU as of yet. Given that I don't even know what html stands for, it's probably not a surprise! Take care, Jerry

Cheers Jerry. Nice, the blogroll list updates itself to add links to the top if they have recently been updated.

Off topic: Can I use your "I Follow" button? It matches my blog theme *way* better than the one I'm using!
BTW, the post about Stumble is right on target–it does give a temporary traffic surge, but of course that's only if it's tagged well and found by people who are likely to give it a thumbs-up. For example, your Red Hat post should be tagged with Linux, Red Hat, etc.–not with "cooking" or "shoes." You laugh, but as you can imagine, some people will tag their trash with everything under the sun. ;-)
You'll get more traffic as people vote "thumbs-up" on it as they surf through, too. Thumbs-down votes will affect the flow the opposite way, of course.
SU really is a great thing, though–you can find all kinds of good stuff that way. Just beware…it can be addictive!

Thanks for the insightful comment, Beth I totally agree with you. As for the 'I Follow' button: go ahead and use it on your own website.

"A sticky blog", this is quite a new term for me and I was confused to read it first. I am happy to read all the snippet there. I think those are great tips which help us to make our readers sticky in real.
