I've Been Stumbled Upon

Well apparently somebody really liked my “Why I am an Atheist” post yesterday because they linked me up over on StumbleUpon.com.  The end result?  Last night my blog had over 3,700 hits on that article, and 860 hits on another article I linked to from within that article.  Total bandwidth consumed 319,389,696 bytes.  That's about 304.5 Mb, or a tenth of my monthly bandwidth.

Not that I mind!  I'm excited that my hits have temporarily tripled… always nice to have readers.  (Hopefully we'll get some new regulars here at ULev.)  But I was a little worried about my bandwidth, so I ordered up another 5 Gb from BlogHarbor just for this month, just in case.  In all likelihood I probably won't need it, but better safe than sorry.

The last time something like this happened was when I entered a submission to one of FARK's photoshop contests. That time the graphic I had linked to got so many hits I had to delete it… like 9,000 in the first hour.  Crazy!
