Normally I would have two to three new posts each day on the blog but it’s under a pretty heavy load at the moment. Yesterday my post about The World’s Most High-Tech Urinal got Dugg. Today, all hell broke loose. I’m about to set a new one-day traffic record thanks to the post getting on Slashdot, Fark, Engadget, Gizmodo, eBaum’s World, USA Today, and a ton of other blogs.
I like to welcome all the new readers who came to check out the story. I hope that you have a chance to check out the rest of the blog and like it enough to bookmark it or subscribe to the Full Feed RSS. I like to write about technology, take pictures of my dinner, and show people how to make money on the Internet.
I will have a full updated on the Super Sunday, with traffic and income figures, on Monday morning. Once again, thank you for visiting and I hope you stick around!

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Wow. Your Feedburner numbers took a nice little jump.
Just watch when it updates tonight. It’ll take another jump.
Hi John,
Funny how I’m referring to you by your first name, as if I knew you personally
Anyway, remember the comment that I left on your “World’s Biggest RSS Button” entry? About having 1121 (I think) readers? Right now the Feedburner.com widget says you’re at over 4,000. Nice work!
Jeff
Congratulations on your success bro, I truly admire your work and writing style very much, you are a nice person and an excellent mentor..
Congrats again,
Ed
Yeah, I think yesterday he had about 100 readers (or was it 1000?) anyway gaining a few thousand subscribers is no easy task. *pats john’s back despite me being a stranger, and possibly a slightly weird one *
Bryce – It was 942 readers. I expect the subs to drop on the next update because that’s how it works.
Thanks everyone for the support!
Nice one. I have been reading many blogs this morning and the urinal story has hit some pretty large sites out there!
Matthew – So why haven’t you posted it?
Well
It is currently open in a firefox tab (for the last couple of hours) and I will be starting soon 
Done. Also threw in a link to the Male Restroom Etiquette. I wonder how that will be taken in to consideration when being in public
Holy crap…your subscribers jumped four-fold…incredible. Congrats, John!
Congratulations. You hit the next target again… 4000++ subscribers… Respect~!
