Nobody expects the....

When I started this blog, I thought I was safe going with a budget hosting account that was limited to 300MB/month. So far this month I've served up 217MB. Time for an upgrade, I guess....

If you increased the length of the snippets you had in your RSS feed then perhaps less people would click through? This might mean you don't get so many hits, but your bandwidth usage would go down too.

OK, what am I missing? You used 217/300 MB by the 30th of the month, and you think it's time to increase because you're nearing a wall? Pardon me whilst I guffaw at your ignorance of basic mathematics. :)
