In the last 48 hours, the readership of my modest blog has quintupled.
I'm guessing I was linked to by somewhere. *beam*
Where are you all coming from? (And please, pull up a chair, have a cup of tea and stay for a while. I hope you don't mind if I polish this bit of chrome while we chat. No rest for the weary and all that...)
BTW, I had been wanting to mention that I also monitor the This Damn House RSS feed on Livejournal, and I will respond to comments over there. But if there's anywhere else that's syndicating the blog, I don't know about it and won't see any comments.

That will tell you where the links come from, but that is a whole new addiction.

Sitemeter won't show those of us behind filtering proxies, FWIW. But I came from caulay's LJ flist, though not as part of the mysterious surge. Houseblogs.net, maybe?

I'm new in the past day or so, and enjoyed your blog so much, I added it to my blogroll and "daily read" list!
Hopefully you'll inspire me to do the projects I should be doing in my own old and dark house in need of repair and modernization!
I think my source was the Happy Rock. :0)

I came through (just today) Get Rich Slowly blog:
http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/09/11/daily-roundup-the-cult-of-credit-free-software-and-diy-home-improvement/
Since I live in an older home and repairs/upgrades are *always* imminent, I thought I'd take a peek. And, while I'm at it, why not put it in my reader? ;)

Thats some good fundamentals there, already knew some of that, but you can always learn . I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just attempting to be “controversial? lol

Haha Ive ordered it and noticed quite a big change in energy use to I could only run a mile now I can run 2 miles and still want to run more...and thats after 3 days of taking it....As for the guy that says look at all the 5 star ratings they only have 1 review so do 4 of the 5 1 star rating also hah! so it would seem that other companies are making accounts and reviewing this item so they can sell theres instead....hah this review buisness all seems like crap to me...hah but either way I took it and love it:) havent even had it a week and ive felt more motivated than ever...im 19 and almost bald hah! funny stuff huh well my hair is starting to grow back already also..*no joke*;) anyways all these reviews are hard to believe is my point so really the only thing you can do is try it yourself and dont judge it by reviews cause reviews= fail in this case
