Freshly Pressed for 15 Minutes of Internet Fame

On Friday, Perusals was chosen as one of the featured (aka “Freshly Pressed”) blogs for the WordPress.com home page.  Within a few hours visits to this modest little blog had quadrupled and the comments were coming fast and furious.  By the end of the day on Friday, there were over 1,400 hits.

Thank you, WordPress and WordPress bloggers for the honor!
