If you don't sign up for anything else, definitely sign up for Technorati. ThoughtfulConsideration.com doesn't just rake in the traffic, but I do see nice bumps from each of the carnivals I participate in. I'm hoping that the upcoming Carnival of Thoughtful Consideration will also increase the number of site visitors. Ms. Q,

I first saw a shades-of-gray color scheme with white letters on a gray background. The font was tinier as well. I wonder if I caught your changes in between updates. I've been wondering if I should sign up for Technorati and other ranking sites - your results are making me reconsider. I found your site via BlogCarnival. I forget if you posted or another blogger referenced yours in a comment. Sorry I can't recall... If you posted to the carnival, have you noticed any increase in traffic? I've read that posting to carnivals and hosting them can increase traffic as well. Update: Much easier to read now. I first saw a shades-of-gray color scheme with white letters on a gray background.

I originally looked for a 3 column as well. Keep it! I like the new theme alot, Andy. I originally looked for a 3 column as well. Keep it!

I went on quite a registration spree (a couple of times, actually) and signed up for everything I could find. As far as I can tell, it hasn't done too much to help me. To answer your question, I looked at my Google Analytics referrers log and didn't see any of the specific sources you mentioned. Technorati occasionally does bring someone in, but I haven't really found any single source that provides a lot of my traffic. ---Andy NLG,

If that's the case for lots of people I will need to change it. That would be too bad because I actually like this one . . . Thanks for your input! ---Andy Mrs. Q.,

E.g. Blogernity, Globe of Blogs, Blog Rankings, etc.? Currently I'm only on BlogTopSites and Technorati. Hey Andy,

How much traffic do you get from those ranking sites? E.g. Blogernity, Globe of Blogs, Blog Rankings, etc.?

Currently I’m only on BlogTopSites and Technorati.

I know what you mean about wanting 3 columns! You may have already discovered this, but your Recent Posts don't link to anything. You get a "No posts matched your criteria" error message. I thought readers' comments had disappeared and then saw the number next to the title. It could be my screen, but the number is a very faint gray. I work on a laptop with high resolution and lowered brightness (my choice - I don't like super bright screens) viewed via Foxfire so what I'm seeing is very tiny letters with not that much contrast between the letters and the various backgrounds. I find the new theme difficult to read but it may be due to my laptop's configuration. I do like the clean look and will keep reading. Have fun customizing!
