Wowza, what a day!
I got up this morning and out of sheer habit, the first thing I did was to look at my feedstats (yes, I know it’s a disease). I noticed byteloads of traffic coming to my blog, so I was surprised..pleasantly 
That’s when I realized that Louis Gray, one of my fav bloggers, whom I’ve been following on Friendfeed, added my name to 5 blogs that he recommends. Holy Guacamole!! How neat is that?! Here are the other 4 blogs on his list.

The blogosphere is chockfull of amazing folks that I probably will never meet, but it’s great to have your work noticed by someone you actually admire. So, thanks for making my day, Louis!

You’re welcome. Much deserved. Now, you’ll have to keep doing a good job, so I don’t look bad!
Also… I want to know how much your RSS #’s go up day over day. That’d be awesome to find out.

Hi there Louis!
I was pondering over the weekend whether I was adding any value or just adding more noise to the blogosphere, so your mention was very well-timed and just the impetus that I needed. I am still refining my style and want to generate more quality content. I am working on it and I will make you look good
I got over 200 unique visitors within hours of your mention and my subsciber base has doubled since, which was very cool. I will keep you posted!
Thanks again!!!!

Hey Mia -
That was really great, wasn’t it? I had a similar experience Monday morning. The blog hits were a lot higher than normal, and the leading referring site was louisgray.com. You click that, and it’s like ‘whoa!’, did he really write that? A lot of fun.
Looking forward to reading your blog in my Google Reader.
Hutch
