We've just had our best day (update)

Wild About Harry has just had it's best day ever with 1,112 pageviews (Blogger measures a day 5PM to 5PM). This was powered by the early news of Google's honorary Houdini Doodle, and the late in the day surprise of yet another Houdini film project from Sony. Let's call this an early birthday present for Harry. Thanks for the hits, everyone.


UPDATE: Well, so much for that record. We have already blown past this number in just four hours of the new 24 hour cycle. Looks like it's going to be a big birthday for Harry! I'll post the new pageview number here tomorrow.

UPDATE (3/24): Okay, page hits for Harry's birthday -- 5,780! Wow.

    Thanks. We actually might shatter the record tomorrow Already coming up on 500 hits. It's amazing how much traffic that Google story is bringing in. Oddly, this has been accomplished without any of today's stories being picked up by Google, for some reason.

    And I woke up this morning thinking it would be a slow news day. Never even got a chance to post what I planned -- "Hitchcock's Houdini." I'll save that for Friday, unless...

    By the way, thank you for answering a question that always puzzled me, how blogger measures a day!

    Thanks. Who knows, maybe this is the new normal. We're already over 1,100 today.
