The good news is that we were posted about on Lifehacker today…they had nice things to say. The bad news is that what with increased interest (Life Hacker, Boing Boing, and the March Madness email) we’ve had some trouble handling allt he traffic.
Some of the problems were due to WordPress reloading everything dynamically; and the other problem was with our new fancy dynamic catalog…the catalog searches a database, and generates a page based on results – which takes a lot more processing power than our previous “search” method, which involved ctrl-F and a static html page.
Anyway, Dan and Kri seem to have fixed all the problems for now. We appreciate your patience, and thank you for visiting… Would you like to record something for us? If so, visit our forum, and post a “Hello.”
Perhaps your problem was caused by a reference to you in Kim Komando’s newsletter today. She has a huge distribution list.
i followed the lifehacker link here. love it
Ouch! I’m glad you pulled through.
I highly reccomend that you install WP-Cache if you haven’t already.
david: indeed, kim komando’s link was a huge part of the influx of visits.
fishee: hope you record for us?
eliot: yes … we did install WP-cache…saved our bacon.
