Very much off topic, but thanks for the link over at C&L. It's not even 1:00 p.m. and I've already shattered my single day traffic record--it's more than double already, and it's all coming from C&L. Many thanks.
Thanks, tpm. Fixed. For some reason, the original one I linked was taken off-line, although I thought that was the official copy - but this one seems to be official as well. I read something about Google getting a great deal of traffic for this video, so maybe they re-posted it or something.
As for the C&L round-up, you've probably already seen Cernig's doing it this week - and doing a fantastic job! But Brian, you're very welcome, and Fade, nice post as always. Cernig's submission e-mail is listed on the C&L posts.
Ed, I'd suggest just e-mailing whoever's doing it with a link and a brief description or excerpt. Currently it's Cernig, although I believe it will be someone new come Sunday. Mike links 250-300 blogs per month, which is really cool of him.
Just for reference, during my brief stint, my inbox was overflowing, and I know I didn't get the volume that Mike does, although he and Blue Gal forwarded some submissions sent to them to me. I tried to read all the submissions, but it was impossible to link them all. Plus, some folks had already been linked the previous week. I know Mike tries to mix it up and not link the same folks every day, week, etc. Sometimes another C&L post has covered the same story. Anyway, nothing's personal. There are also open threads at C&L and other sites, Melissa McEwan at Shakesville has "blogwhoring" threads every day, and other bloggers also do round-ups.
Some people submit every post they write, but speaking solely personally, since I was only a brief pinch-hitter and am low on the totem pole, I think it's better to wait and submit a key post every now and then. Anyway, you have a nice site, as you know, so I'd just submit your best stuff as you write it.
Thanks for the response. I know that whomever does the C&L blog roundup must be overwhelmed, and I certainly don't send them everything I blog. I've submitted maybe 3 or 4 things in total over the last 6 months. Patience, I suppose, is the best medicine.

Any commenters care to share some advice on how to catch the eye/ear of whomever is doing the C&L blog roundup?
