I’ve been watching my “Most Popular Posts” list as the day has progressed. Someone submitted the post To You, My Sisters to StumbleUpon.com and I’ve gotten over 375 people to visit my site to read that post. Wow! That’s a nice bump in traffic.
In the past I’ve never really paid much attention to sites like Digg.com. But, wowzer, it really can make a significant difference to your site’s traffic.
I wonder how many marbles are in this jar?

My wife has completed the transcript of our podcast. So now I double check it, then I’ll be posting it up on our theatre site. And cross referencing it throughout the site.

Bad_goth guessed 2,100, which was way too high. Here’s a hint: More than 1,743, less than 1,932. We currently have 42 people playing!
Entries are now closed. Should I only allow people who are actively commenting to be eligible for a guess? A lot of entries from hours ago are still active, and we could end up with a whole string of guesses that are outside the range. Your thoughts?
New entries are 1,743 to 1,860.
I have been wondering why the CHARGE video was so blocky looking. I just realized I entered the wrong dimensions into the settings file. So the video was stretched. I have changed it, so the video is the right size now.

My wife and I run a podcast/blog/wiki covering live theater in the Washington DC area I just spent the last 25 minutes editing the audio for a review for a show we saw on Thursday night. We use Audacity to record our conversation about the show. Audaucity lets me see our words, and it is quite easy to remove the umms or other hiccups that hit when we are recording.
Now Laura gets to do the transcript of our conversation. She uses Transcriva to type the transcript. Transcriva lets her hit Apple-Enter to slide the audio back a few seconds, and then easily switch between different speakers.
It’s taken us a while to work out a system, but the process we are using is great.
OK, here’s the second Harry Potter hangman game. Try playing some hangman with the titles of the chapters in the second book. I’ll release the other 5 books all at once later tonight.

I’ve just spent some time surfing some of the other Blogathoner’s blogs. There were a few that I wanted to submit a comment on. But I couldn’t easily do that, because some require a Google account. Others require a LiveJournal account. There were a couple that allowed for “anonymous” submissions. But I never really noticed before how fragmented the blogosphere is. I have a feeling that a lot of it is due to spammers abusing the ability to talk with other people.
