Bramblog

I crashed another server on my cheesy Realtor business cards digg. Needless to say, I was pretty pissed at Inmotion. The sales team was very knowledgeable about the digg effect, and they assured me that my new plan would be able to handle it with no problem – no matter if I had a WP blog querying DB’s or not. And….it crashed.

To their credit, Inmotion’s support team was awesome. I had been meaning to install super cache for a while, but didn’t think to do it before the last campaign. They shut down the server, installed super cache on the blog, and fired it back up. By this time, the post had made it down towards the bottom of the page, so I wasn’t actually sure if it was the plug-in, or the decreased traffic.

But then, yesterday I pushed another piece. I did it kind of spur of the moment, and put it on a blog that I put up specifically for diggbait. It’s at 1000+ diggs right now, and the server stayed strong throughout the whole ordeal. So…I think we finally have the final piece to the digg proof puzzle – super cache!
