I have noticed quite the spike in traffic the past couple days here at 10gallonhat.com. Welcome to all the new visitors, and thanks for stopping by. I just wanted to point a few helpful things out to everybody.

1. We have an RSS feed on this website so you can get any updates to the site in your favorite RSS Aggregator. I am a big fan of Google Reader and use it to keep up on many different feeds (I got curious as to how many feeds I subscribe to and was shocked at the total number: 234. Yipes!). Anyways, here is where you can access our RSS feed.
2. The images here on the site enlarge. Click on them and watch them grow right before your eyes!
3. We have a handy search page on the site. This searches the entire web at the moment, but I want it to only search 10gallonhat.com and a couple other websites. This should be fixed shortly I hope.
4. In addition to the search field, we have a tag cloud over to the right. You can click on those in order to quickly find all posts tagged with that word. The larger the word, the more posts we have tagged with that tag.
5. We have ads on our site. Ads are evil, I know, but we actually get a few cents each time you click. This is going to help us maintain the site, and hopefully buy a soda or two at Sonic. So, if you like coming here, or subscribing to our feed, go ahead and click on the ads once  (please don’t go crazy with the clicking, that won’t help, it will actually be bad) when you visit.

Thats pretty much all you need to know in order to fully experience the site. We hope you enjoy reading about our quickly upcoming adventure in texas.
