W00t! My WordPress blog entry about inherited male homosexuality made it to the WordPress front page queue, with the associated boost in hits.
Frankly, I have no idea what the criteria are for a front-page-queue post - apparently it has something to do with the tagging system, as one of my more multi-faceted personal entries was featured there because I'd mentioned a car in it and tagged it "cars". I assume it's an automated system of some sort.
But, hey. Even though I doubt any of them will stick around, when you're a lonely self-absorbed blogger like me it's always cool to get 100+ hits over a couple days. And I even got a couple of positive comments from random people, which does even more to validate my existence. So, hurrah!
