It'll be interesting to follow. From my perspective, a little after 9:00 central time I began getting visitors clicking in from your site, now totalling an extra 80+ and counting over my normal traffic (such as it is) *s*

There are a lot of good recipes to check out this time (as usual), so it will take a while before secondary sites can report back to you what the ripple effect is.

I saw a spike in my tiny traffic yesterday, starting shortly after the 'Lanche... from avg. 37 unique hits/day to 94 unique yesterday. No way to tell how much of that is Carnival regulars clicking thru, how much is secondary 'Lanche ripple effect, since the page referrals come from here in either case.
