I made a single comment (http://digg.com/linux_unix/20_Wallpapers_For_Linux_Lovers) on digg.com about a bunch of Ubuntu related wallpapers I made.

From that comment alone my blog went (http://ubuntucorner.blogspot.com/) from under 100 unique views to over 1,600.

That's pretty insane, if only I had more content I wouldn't get a 94.59% bounce rate. :D

Awesome wallpapers,
I didn't think digg would generate that much traffic, from just one comment.

I don't have a widescreen, when I made the wallpapers I made them in 1600x1200 resolution. It's possible to resize them with gimp or another program, but you might loose some quality depending how you do it.

right, but if you're going to offer them, you should start catering to what's going to be mainstream and that's large and widescreen.
