If you know why that makes me happy, you’re a nerd too ;-)

    Congrats! I think your articles on sanity saving CSS shortcuts and the Global White Space Reset technique had a lot to do with it.

    Am I the only person not using shortstat?

  2. Andrew:

    You hit the nail on the head with that one. Without going into details, my daily traffic has increased 11 times over (no exageration!) since Roger first linked to me last Saturday. I owe him two vital organs and my first born child, but I think it was a good deal.

  3. Chris Gwynne:

    Good stuff.

  4. Rob Mientjes:

    I know how it is. Roger linked me too, and my visitors have quadrupled over the past one and a half week. Really, I’m not complaining :)

    Note though, that I’ve been linked by a dozen other sites too. ShortStat is going crazy on referrals :D

  5. Geoffrey Sneddon:

    Your not the only one not using shortstat ;)

    Congrats Andrew… If only my site got that many…

  6. Scott:

    Wow, just wow, this site is amazing. I’m glad I checked here from Dunstan’s blog :) .

    Congratulations on 50,000 also ;D.

    As a nerd:) I fully understand and appreciate massive hits!

    Good to see some of the programmers are starting to appreciate the designers more in this industry:)

    Well here’s to me, a new reader who just so happened to stumble across this luverly site. ;)

    As a web developer finally starting to “see the light” and teach myself CSS and web standards, I’ve been compiling a list of favorite css-related websites to visit for news, inspiration, and sheer envy. Your’s was planted on my list early on…

    Well done…

    Freshness + Quality = High Traffic.

    I wanted to make a post on the Global White Space reset (but it’s closed for comments). I applied it to our site and an added benefit was that the size of the CSS file was reduced dramatically after removing all the margin:0’s and paddig:0’s.

    Thanks for that one.
