This blog passed a plateau yesterday that had never been reached before, not even close. Tuesday was the first day that over 1000 visitors checked in, 1005 in all. The previous high was somewhere just over 800, so you can see what an achievement this was.
A good chunk of the traffic came to read Michael Shonk’s recent article about the 1959-60 season of the Philip Marlowe TV show, but congratulations and thanks go to all of the contributors to this blog. It couldn’t have been done without you!

Thanks, Doc. It looks like all of the extra traffic was generated from Facebook. Lots of incoming visitors from many different pages, but I can’t track it back further, as I’m not a Facebooker. And in all likelihood, I never will be.

Steve,
Congratulations!
This is great news.
I enjoyed the PHILIP MARLOWE article too.

There are a lot of detective fiction fans over at Facebook!

Oh, and congrats on the milestone–this website merits the increased traffic!

You have Wicked Good eyes, Dan.

I guess I wasn’t one of the 1005 as I hadn’t checked the site for a few days. As usual, when I do check in I discover authors and books I’ve never heard of and films I’ve never seen.

Well, Randy, it’s a well kept secret, so don’t tell anybody, but the reason you haven’t heard of any of the authors, books and films is that we simply make them up as we go along.
Truth! One of them we did!
