Hi guys! I signed up to SU yesterday, and I'd be delighted if someone could stumble this article:

Plus any others you might find worthwhile on my website

Cheers!

Unhappy Help!!

I just registered for Stumble Upon and when I went to view my public profile page it has my user name as my blog. I've checked help but can't figure out how to change this. Can anyone advise me??

Maybe just reregister with the name you want?

I have a problem too actually, the first time one of my posts was stumbled it went like crazy for a bit (about 150 hits) and then stopped very suddenly, which I found kind of strange, and then I tried to stumble one of my own posts and after almost 12 hours exactly 0 hits from stumbleupon.

Anyone have any ideas about what went wrong or is this normal?

Yeah this is weird... I usually get between 500-2000 hits from Stumble for each article I post, but for some reason my last 2 articles have gotten 0.

(Stumbled yours ZZTech)

Stu: your blog showed up as a brand new stumble for some reason.

BTW folks on blogs the page may show as stumbled when you have put up a new article because the url doesn't change, need to stumble the permalink.

I think I caught up with stumbles, my current article is at
We the Sheeple

Was a teaser picture on an article about injecting sheep with human stem cells to create transplantable organs. (the actual sheep just looked like sheep this was the 'attention getter')

We aren't exchanging stumbles like you think. We are just sharing each other's websites. As long as people actually read the articles and rate them if they like them, then it's ok.

Maybe because I am submitting my own articles?

I usually don't even add tags... maybe that's why.


Anyway, I made a post that will hopefully be of value to fellow bloggers:
Things to blog about. | Small-town Big-shot

If you find it useful, +stumble it, and I will add to the list in the future.

Chet: I had a problem using the stumbleupon button in your socialable plugin (it took me to a invalid url). Its a problem I have heard of before, you may want to test it and see if the info on this page applies. I still managed to stumble your article though another way

Interfaceleader and JimC I also stumbled your articles.

I'm going to bed soon... I'll read some more of the articles in this thread tomorrow and see if I can stumble some.

2 recent articles of mine that could use some love are:

Hello, my name is Mike.

I'll have a new SU account after this post. I have a web site I am trying to learn to develop with hardly any success. I have ideas but have trouble learning how to code.

Hello All

I have signed up at SU about a month ago without understanding fully how it system works. Since I read this thread, I learnt about it more and realise its potential of bringing traffic to websites.

Thanks.

And so I went back there today and complete my profile. My username is putu30 and my blog is about travelling; Bali Tour Guide: Everything About Traveling to The Paradise Island. But I am interested in personal development, anything funny articles or photos, so I will add you all here as my friends, if you don't mind.
