I haven't been paying close enough attention (obviously), so part of this is kinda old news, but lukeprog's Best Movies Never Made was Dugg (182 comments on that page) a few weeks ago, resulting 47,000 visits that day, up from our usual 6,000. My ISP didn't complain, which is a retroactive relief. :-) Then, today, probably as a result of the digging, his list made the IMDb front page (near the bottom, in the "IMDb Hit List" section). Cool, congrats, lukeprog!
Sorry for the surprise. I was reading the Digg feed and saw "20 Best Movies Never Made" and I thought, "Heh, that sounds similar to that list I made years ago on Listology. I wonder what this author thinks." And then I clicked and I was staring at my own list and I started dancing. Now I'm trying to digg-bait for profit (and improve people's lives).
I must say, I'm struggling even with WordPress. I envy your tech skills, Jim!
I'm surprised your host didn't even complain. Who are they?
No apologies, please, and that must have been quite the thrill!
Stick with the tech stuff. I started off doing this as a self-taught liberal arts major (that fact shows too often, I'm afraid). As for WordPress, Smashing Magazine has put up some inspiring posts. You can do a lot with that tool.
