Project Mai Tai just got a new batch of visitors from Stumbleupon. I had actually thought about putting it on there myself, but forgot. Looks like two people have recommended it so far, and already it’s sent a decent amount of visitors (for the piddling traffic I have so far).

The support forum for the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin for Wordpress is down due to a hosting move (my sympathies), and wouldn’t you know it?  I have a question, and I’m not finding the answer in the documentation.  Maybe I’m just totally missing something, but:

Most of my time this week has centered on launching Project Mai Tai and getting Project B-2 Bomber to the next level.
Mai Tai has gained a new inbound since yesterday, and it’s sent a couple of visitors. Modest, I know, but it’s a PR3 blog. The link bait is starting to get nibbles, [...]
