If you put it up there, even on the off chance it makes the recommended list it will be gone before 5 o'oclock. (Except on weekends, then the best time is early in the morning)

The best times are between 4 and 6 pm EST... That way it might even get some major viewing even if it doesn't get recommended. (At least, that has been our experience in the past)

I am heartened that slowly but surely we have added a few allies outside of the "big communities", because that is where we get traction. Now if only dKos and MyDD would bend to our wills, eh? lol They just don't seem to want to follow anyone else's ideas, unlike other left communities that make huge attempts to help eachother. IE: If it didn't start at dKos, Kossacks don't pay attention. (Maybe that is just my perception of it?)

I also have it up at "Campus Progress Blogs" on my "The Kids Are Alright!" blog there.
