Looking at my stats, I can safely say that these measures do NOT guarantee internet fame.

You clearly do not have enough screenshots per post. :P
December 7th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
That is just brilliant.
December 7th, 2006 at 7:21 pm
“You clearly do not have enough screenshots per post. :P”
Ah! So that’s the problem. Internet fame here I come.

Most important one: Avoid any direct or indirect link to this post.
That means you should be blogging in Žemaitėška for example.

I find your spelling of “humour” and “humorous” interesting and inconsistent.
