The last three days has been very bittersweet for our little blog at You Design It. We recently wrote an article about the 11 Nerdiest T-shirts Every Geek Should Wear and that article made it to the homepage of Digg.com. Our initial reaction was happiness to see that many people not only liked our article but felt compelled to leave us comments and even contact us for printed T-shirts. Unfortunately, our site could not handle the high amount of traffic that was sent to us from the article on Digg and we started crashing intermittently.

As our site started to cut out, we contacted our hosting provider to find out our options for keeping the site up with the high amount of traffic. They gave us the wrong information and asked us to upgrade our account without telling us that our site would go down for hours. The blog was down for quite a few hours, and we were troubleshooting the whole time.

To make a long story short, we are back up and running and ready to go. We want to thank everybody for their support and interest in the work we put in to provide you with information on custom T-shirt printing. Next time, and there will be a next time, we will be more prepared for the traffic. After all, we feel like we are just getting started!
