Only the best new pages make the front page, and quite an honor. <br /><br />What happened as a result was 7,500 views that day. And each hyperlink in the lede of the article got a boost in hits as well. <br /><br />So way to go Brad!sgerbichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354138750695010886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061799050413445026.post-45253538681527075662012-10-22T21:08:02.418-07:002012-10-22T21:08:02.418-07:00Thanks for the kind comments, Susan. :-) I'm p...Thanks for the kind comments, Susan. :-) I'm pretty happy with how it came together, and I hope Dr. Viskontas is happy with the results, too.<br /><br />Speaking as someone who is just getting started with this kind of work, it wasn't really that hard to get started. Susan helped me a lot by creating a userspace with a suggested organization for the article. That changed as I learned more about Dr. Viskontas and gathered references, but it helped to have that as a starting point. That and some other example pages also helped me get the drift the WP scripting pretty quickly.<br /><br />This blog is a great resource, too. Susan would often send me links to blog posts in anticipation of issues that would come up at various phases. That was quite helpful.<br /><br />With all the support, the article seemed to come together pretty naturally.Fomoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624143887058917679noreply@blogger.com
