Internet semi-famous
Yesterday saw a couple of spikes in site traffic. Jon Hicks mentioned my grid calculator during his presentation at FOWD, which instantly quadrupled the traffic to that page:
And, almost simultaneously, Smashing Magazine included my comment form in their Web Form Design: Modern Solutions and Creative Ideas post, which pushed the daily visits over 1,000 for the first time:
Which was nice.

Soon, you’ll be a superstar, and I can say, “I used to know him when…”
Congrats, dude!

I was made up to make Smashing a while back… though it hasn’t really done much for me… except give the old ego a handshake.
It does provide a fairly solid stream of visits though. I was also suprised how many people just copy and pasted the whole article to try and pass it off as their own.
Getting a mention from Mr. Hicks, however, is something all together different!

Someday at a conference you’ll mention somebody’s post and their traffic will shoot up…and then they’ll be internet semi-famous just like you used to be – before you were internet famous.
