Mentions & Awards

February 2011: Coconut, Basil & Lime Pralines post featured on FoodPress. I forgot to make a screenshot, though…

March 4, 2011 …
…was the day I almost fell off my chair when I saw how many hits I suddenly had on my blog. Turned out it was due to a WordPress feature on my Blood Orange Panna Cotta.

Funnily, the same day a news item appeared on Spiegel Online about WordPress experiencing a DoS attack. The WP screenshot shown at the news website also showed my WP feature post, it was even highlighted. I’m sure that also helped with getting this exorbitant amount of hits.

I have to admit, though, that I have silently cursed that post a lot of times since. Why? Because I feel it’s neither my best post nor my best recipe. But a lot of people still keep visiting that one post only.

The same month I received a Stylish Blogger Award, passed on to me by Melissa from Life is Grace.
