Got an Instalanche going on at my place as I write this, due to the hurricane blogging I've been doing today. The traffic will last until the link scrolls off the Tall Dog's page, and then I'll be back to my normal 100+ readers per day. Doesn't bother me a bit either way. Considering how infrequently I've been blogging for the past three months, 100+ readers is just as exciting as an Instalanche.

I don't remember how the hell I got here and found you. I read few blogs on a regular basis and, like you, could give two shits less about blog popularity and links. I write when and what I want and don't much worry about how many people read my stuff. I originally started my blog to keep family updated on the goings on in my life, since I'm such a shitty letter writer. But they think it's wrong for me to air the dirty laundry for the world to see, so even they rarely visit anymore. I wish I could find a 'focus' for my blog and maybe someday I will, but for now, I'm happy just puttering around.

My only Instalanches come when I piss off the trolls here ;-)

Actually, I discovered "Gut Rumbles" through an instalanche, and I've hung around for a while because I enjoyed what I've read. Acidman carries on a fine tradition of Southern literature that I'm not sure those from other parts of the world really, truly understand.

By the way, my blog has never had an instalanche, but it did get "gut rumbled", which did give my blog a 200+ visit spike.

Jack, that's called an "Acidbath" when I send visitors your way.

When I first started I really wanted to be "loved" now I don't give a shit one way or another. It's like you either want to throw a party for a lot of people who are mainly there for the food and drink, or you can give a small intimate party for a few who really are interested in what you have to say. I would rather have the latter.

And yes, A-Man did bump me and yes it was a thrill, kind of like a one night stand that lasted a whole weekend. When the sex is over you don't know him and he doesn't know you and you would just soon keep it that way. A big wonderful, but cheap and sleazy thrill!

Acidbath, eh? I've been calling them Acidlanches!

I don't remember exactly, but I may have found you initially via a permalink from Instapundit.

But I found Instapundit via, if I remember right, Virginia Postrel, whom I'd known of since the 80's when she became Reason's editor. I think I found her blog because we were on the same mailing list, and in a post she had a link to her blog.

The mailing list was originated by a guy I met through volunteering for the Arisia SF convention, for a project started by SF authors Brin, Bear and Benford. The project was so much like something I'd thought up years before, I was interested in seeing what happened with it.

I first heard of Arisia from one of my two best friends, who was one of the five founders of Arisia. I first met him in 9th grade, 28 years ago.

So you could say that meeting my friend 28 years ago was the flapping butterfly wings that led me to read your blog.

I don't "bump" anybody. I link and let people follow. You are on your own after that.

My god!!! I had no idea that people actually send Glenn emails trying to get him to link to their blogs. Maybe what they should be doing is writing original, interesting content instead. This sounds like junior high school all over again.

Glenn is busy. A lot of what he posts is tips from others that he receives in e-mail. I periodically send him stuff he might be interested in, that I have seen on other blogs he might not notice. He's used one of the several I've submitted.

I've also drawn attention to mine a couple times, but my one Instalanche was something he decided to link to on his own. It's not wrong, but it shouldn't be overdone.

As for original, interesting content, well, yeah. And IF other people know it's there, they are more likely to link to it.

A New Zealand blogger referred me to Acidman's blog... heh...WTF are grits? ;-)

I read Gut Rumbles every day. There's no need for me to put it in my bookmarks because it's first on Kim du Toit's list of "Bloggers I Read Every Day."

Did I say "bump?" Excuse me, poor choice of a word.

I should have said that Acidman so kindly detoured the traffic off of GA. I-20, and on to one of Georgia's two-lane magnolia-lined roads. It was much appreciated, I might add.

And I do apologize for using the word "bump"!

I found you on my own. All because of evil bitches. (Wanted to see if anybody else's was worse than Eric's ex...)
I was hooked from the first day. Even started my own. (Bless you, Blogfather...I kiss your ring..and don't be movin' it, either...lol.)
I'll keep reading and returning and learning cool, new stuff as long as you keep writing.
(I do remember my exact search phrase, too)
I never thought it would lead to this, though.
lmao

I'm here because it's all Jane's fault (of Daily Rant fame)....we were talking one day and she said i HAD to read this blog.

I'm obedient, if nothing else.

The second I sent you the link to my blog, Rob, you featured it. Presto Acidbath. Later I got a link from Vodkapundit which gave me an even bigger hit counter rolling. But you're my BlogFather.

I got the link to this site from some other blogger, who was saying that you were going to stop blogging. "What's the big deal," I thought. I found out and have been hooked since then. Your words have that effect.

Yes, SugarMama, it is high school all over again; where you been, girl?

P.S. Don't listen to a thing that "evil old Acidman" says about Ruby. She is divine! (And if I can say that not even being a dog lover, you know "she some kinda fine!")

Ha! Thanks, Joni. Acidman is the only person who doesn't like my little baby. BFF? LYLAS? haha

I did get to you from an instalanche, but it was the other posts around that one that got me to stay. I picked up about 5-10 readers from my one instalanche.

I smell a female conspiracy against me. I hate it when that happens.

You don't know what will catch Glenn Reynolds's eye. Here I write all this technical stuff about nuclear reactors, depleted uranium, etc, but does that get a link when it's topical? Ha!

But when I wrote something about breasts...he thought that was inconsistent with the name of my site.

Thee best bloggg
