I’ve seen a lot of articles about the [Digg Effect](http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/davak/2005/11/06/digg-effect-the-top-10-things-webmasters-should-know/) and what a site can expect after having a bunch of new visitors arrive to check out an article, as happened with my recent post on [Warcraft](http://johnaugust.com/archives/2007/seven-things-warcraft).
The general prediction is that readership drops to normal levels pretty quickly, and that’s borne out by the stats.
Page views are a little higher post-Digg, but it’s nothing like the giant spike that happened in the middle of the Digg storm. Most of the people who clicked through were following a story about Warcraft; most of them weren’t screenwriters. (Living in Los Angeles, it’s easy to forget that there are some people in this big world who haven’t written a script.)
On a somewhat-related note, I’ve upgraded to the most recent WordPress, and the site seems to be running a little faster for it.
