Wow, its been a busy 24 hours. After posting my story about the FireNES plugin, it got picked up by StumbleUpon and sent around 16,000 visitors my way! Great traffic, but unfortunately it caused the server hosting my site to fall over under the demand. In total, ryanajarrett.com was down for about 2½ hours. The levels of traffic dropped right down during the outage and although I’m getting some interest in the post, most Stumble traffic has died.
To counter this I’ve now installed the WP Super Cache plugin to ease the workload on the server and therefore it should stand up should the same thing happen again.
I seem to have doubled my RSS subscribers in the process, so “Hello” to all of you that have just added me to your feed reader or signed up for the email.
