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!
