Yeah, the guy just told me his blog is not responding now. Oops! I must rethink speedbumping like that in future.
Speedbumping?
I was hoping that people would see the screensnap at that blog and THEN decide if they'd go on to the site itself. It never occurred to me there'd be a flood of people who'd click through and kill the site I pointed to. Plus, I figured some people might be on a mobile device and not see the site itself, so they could at least look at a screensnap. I will never do that again.
No worries, don't beat yourself up, you didn't do anything wrong. I was just wondering what you meant by speedbumping.
I am beating myself up. I didn't mean to kill his blog!
Interesting metaphor. At least speed bumps often increase the safety of some group of people. This sort of speed bump does nothing but infuriate those who pass over it, and perhaps inflate the ego of the owner of the bump -- or, in this case, crash the bump, er, blog.
