There is a poorly documented feature in WordPress where you can see your historical stats dashboard for any day by adding “&day=2008-11-07″ or the equivalent date to the URL string.

His story got chosen by the editors of slashdot however they choose stories. It got on the front page of digg because Kevin Rose tweeted that he was reading it. Presumably, he saw it on slashdot or one of the other social news sites. And no, unfortunately, we haven't gotten much love from reddit.

I subscribed to your feed because of it (and I'd love to see more MySQL-ish stuff). Keep up the great work. Hey – don’t diss your correlated subqueries post.

Must be some kind of power user, I think otherwise isn't that easy to get in front of Digg and Slashdot. No visits from Reddit yet? I would be curious who submitted your post to Digg and Slashdot?

After reading the lawn signs article (and browsing a few other articles here), I was extremely impressed with the detail and quality of writing. I now subscribe to your RSS feed and it's right on my iGoogle page. Hope you keep publishing interesting articles here as I have thoroughly enjoyed the reading so far.
