Talking I got on Lifehacker!!
My article on New Year's Resolutions got posted on Lifehacker yesterday!!!!!

How to make and keep your New Year's resolutions - Lifehacker

Man, the traffic to my blog increased to a few thousand overnight. I'm so ecstatic! All the comments have been positive (so far). This is the first time I found out that people actually like what I write. Wow, I just can't contain myself... this is so awesome!

Thank you!!!!

As far as tips on getting there... well, there's an old Russian saying "If the mountain won't walk to Mogamet, then Mogamet needs to start walking towards the mountain" So I decided that since nobody seems to be kind enough to submit my article there, I might as well have no shame and do it myself That's about it for my strategy on getting it to Lifehacker, sorry.
I wish I could tell you more, but I've been submitting all of my articles there, and this is the first one that got posted.

I still can't get over it... you're right, this is just the beginning! Now I kinda have to post something else that would be interesting, in case some readers decide to come back

Jill,

Writing about some new time-saving tweak or tip you use that your friends think is great is probably a good place to start. Lifehacker likes articles where you take an existing piece of hardware or software and use it in a unique way that it makes it more effective.
