Experiencing the impact

11

The last couple of weeks have been special for me. Since the launch of my new design, my visitor rates have tripled. My bandwidth goes skyhigh, and my name and articles are spread all over the place. Luckily my server is holding up great. Now, seeing all those people coming by, reading my articles, I question myself. What would you like to see at this site, in terms of articles? More design-related? More semantics? More interface design? Tell me. It might spark me.

Oh, and thanks to 456 Berea Street, Milo V., Jina, Das Netzbuch, Richard@Home, CSS Help Pile, Yojih, Marko and the many others who linked to my Scrolling Drop Shadows article. You were the key to the success, and to the thousand-something visitors over the last couple of days :P

    The articles, they bring the fame.

    I figured. My name isn’t really appealing and the design is busy, really busy to the eye. Hence my question, what kind of articles does one like (not the ‘definite article’, you’ll get killed for that).

    Rob,

    “Content is the King” ;)

    This site is great as it is --- don’t you ever change it. I’m so jealous of your fame.

    I like the wine things by the way, though I must agree with marko: content is the king.

    I know content is king by now. That’s the mere reason for my (rapidly) increasing visitor count. I just need some ideas, and if you want some to be discussed, here’s your chance.

    I’d like to see some more CSS experiments personally, there is a real opportunity to discuss the thinking and improve the techniques.

    Can I have your autograph for ebay ;)

    Can I have your autograph for ebay ;)

    Well, that’s hard. I need it for credit cards ‘n stuff :P

    CSS experiments... That’s a good idea. I’ll track down some common problems and ideas, and maybe you could suggest your own. There are enough CSS problems around (neglecting certain browser support...).

    I posted about .htaccess once - got all kinds of hits. It’s amazing. I want to steal your fame, put it in a box, and take from it every now and then when I need it. :)

    I’d like some css tricks, etc too.

    Just don’t get caught up in blogging about what others want.

    As Jina says :)

    However, I’d really like it if you’d quit using the www. in your URIs! I just hate them. www. is cruft!
