Thanks, Zen. I managed to get some subscribers through the various sources. My FeedBurner count jumped from a little over 70 to about 325. It’s still growing a bit, but not nearly as much as it did during the initial leaps in traffic.

Huh…when I linked to that article I had no idea you were so popular.. I was actually planning to write an article similar to that with all the links I’d collected, but I found yours and you’d done such a good job I figured there wasn’t much point. I guess the tough part is getting some of those readers to hang-on now that they’ve been exposed to your site…

I checked your site out on Alexa today, amazing! Your success, Matt, is inevitable. And you are making this all happen by posting extremely high quality and helpful content, and you are a nice guy to boot.
