So Exciting!!

Ummm. I've got some good news and some bad news.

The good news: Sk*rt made the front page of Digg last night while I slept soundly in my very comfy bed. So cool!

The bad news: Sk*rt made the front page of Digg last night while I slept soundly in my very comfy bed. Why is that bad? When a website makes the front page of Digg, the site gets such an unexpected surge of visitors and traffic that it shuts down. It happens on such a regular occurence that it has a name: the Digg Effect. So if you haven't noticed already, sk*rt is offline.

The sk*rt site is down, the sk*rt blog is down, and anyone who has posted a sk*rt button on their site won't be able to see it until the site is back up. It's awesome that sk*rt is getting so much attention. We believed it would. Eventually. We just didn't think it would happen on day 2 or 3(!) of our launch.

So we're scrambling this morning to get the site going again. Please bear with us. And thank you, thank you, thank you for making sk*rt such a fabulous and interesting place so quickly!


[ Note: I've got some great Design Mom posts for today, but they're going to have to hang out for awhile until I've figured out this sk*rt stuff. Stay tuned! ]
