I really do love Stumbleupon. It's a great way to waste time.

Here are some of my better articles:
10 Reasons the Freshman Fifteen Gets You
Gardening for Optimal Health
How to Create Your Own Diet, Part I

I hope you enjoy them.

Yeah, you become a stumble "sponsor", which you can learn more about here.

It's only $10 for 1 year, that's a pretty good deal.

I can buy that today and start a Pavlina group- would you all would join?

I don't see any reason to not do so, as long as it's only the $10 for you to create it. :P

Alright, I currently have $10 being transferred to my paypal account. It will be completed on the 23rd, so I will make the group as soon as that completes. =)

So, for those of you who are interested, here is:

9 Simple Tricks To Start Your Morning Alert And Focused

Feel free to digg it, too... be nice for one to really take off, and though I didn't write it specifically for that, this one seems like it could do well on digg or reddit (both available as links to click at the bottom of the article). And a viral traffic surge always feels good (at least to me... I'm assuming to anyone else on this thread, too :P).

Good article Jason. I like your site's colors too. I just stumbled you.

I must admit I added SU to my browser, but never really "got it" - you expect something to happen after clicking a thumb!
I've found this thread most informative, and will make more use of SU.
I've got an early start tomorrow so I'm off to bed, but I will visit and stumble through the sites on this thread tomorrow - as a newbie to this forum it will also help me to get an idea what everyone else is up to.
My SU name is the same - David365. Thanks again for the advice on this thread.

New article...

...actually, it started out as a free write in my journal but I figured I'd publish it.

I spent about an hour last night trying to find the wordpress plugin that puts the Stumble Upon tab below each article. I found several people that have it, but all I could find on google was reviews of this plugin.

Anybody know where I can download it, or want to email it to me?

Also, I tried to add everyone to my friends list, if you'd like to add me my SU name is here.

Default Converting Stumblers To Subscribers

Does anyone have any tips in regards to converting stumblers (specifically) to subscribers? My subscriber count IS going up, but it's pretty slow, so... any help?

I don't remember the exact post, but within the last week or so, there was a link at ProBlogger to an article that discussed this very subject. If you go to his site and do a search (upper right-hand corner) or just go back through the posts over the last few weeks, I'm sure you can find it pretty easily.

Default My Wife's Suggestion

Here is my latest article (the topic was chosen by my wife)... tell me if you like it.

Four Steps To Boosting Your Creativity (And Confidence!)

By the way, thank you very much for those of you who comment on my blog. I very much appreciate it... it makes it much less frustrating.

Oh, and also, thank you to those who gave me a "thumbs up" on my last article, 9 Methods To Start Your Morning Alert And Focused, as it has currently driven approximately 650 extra visits to my site (800 total in the last two days, but I normally get 75 or so). I remember someone mentioning doing the same thing for Reddit a while back... are services other than SU not worth it to the rest of you, or did it just sort of die off, or is anyone still interested in promoting on other services (reddit/digg/delicious/whatever)?

I did read that post, I just couldn't see much of it to implement that I wasn't already doing on my site... if you do, let me know, please. I'm always open to design suggestions.
