As I look back on why, I felt challenged as a newcomer in the blogosphere, during a time when people were still getting to know me. (I know you guys still are.) I found it initially difficult volunteering too much information — or having a little fun — because I felt that it was important to tread carefully in brand new waters where everyone may be watching. I really don’t want my bikini top to fall off when “nobody” is looking! (Wardrobe malfunction, anyone?) However, as I moved at my own pace, I have grown complacent with my behavior. I lost a friend in the process. I also took harsh criticism and learned from it. These experiences have all contributed to making me move into my “comfort zone,” and I’m consequently more open lately about myself. I think I’m in a good place. A lot of that has come from really emerging in other mediums professionally. But this is my personal blog, where I publish my musings, my thoughts, and my tricks and tips. Here is where I let my hair down. [...] [...] Those of you who may have been reading me from the beginning know that I’ve been aching to find a real comfortable blogging position.

Like Neil says, their algorithm seems to be pretty sophisticated. That limit is somewhere around 10 to 15, and it only applies to your particular StumbleUpon account. As far as demographic, I think Stumbleupon is more of a general population demographic representation than the predominently technical Digg audience. Have an awesome day! Dan Hey Tony,

I don’t know about getting your site “banned” per-se, but there is a limit of how many times you can stumble posts on any particular site. Like Neil says, their algorithm seems to be pretty sophisticated.

That limit is somewhere around 10 to 15, and it only applies to your particular StumbleUpon account.

As far as demographic, I think Stumbleupon is more of a general population demographic representation than the predominently technical Digg audience.

Have an awesome day!
Dan

And titling something that way certainly would lead *me* to believe that it was offering something more than introductory. Good luck with things though -- DJI is just one blogger's opinion, afer all. ;) Cheers t @ dji Tamar,

Your posts on problogger.net <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/01/10/how-to-find-news-for-your-blog/" rel="nofollow">like this one</a> are introductory and we could make the same argument that what you say is obvious. Still, not everyone is an advanced reader and it could provide value to them. It seems from the comments of my particular blog post that I have succeeded.
