That little post about Christianity and the Syrian refugees yesterday got 636 pageviews, a single-day record for any post not involving Freshly Pressed. The site in general had 890, with 620 unique visitors. As of this exact second, 6:33 in the AM, we’re looking at the fourth most popular post written in 2015 (total 733 views) and absolutely the fastest-moving thing I’ve ever written for this space– remember, this is still in less than a day— because even the Snowpiercer post took a minute to get moving.
Also as of right now: 347 shares on Facebook, a number that has changed while I’ve been writing this and is close enough to half the total number that Snowpiercer has amassed that it’ll probably be there by the time my son wakes up in a few minutes. (EDIT: It got six more before I hit “post,” so it’s there.) It’s already at nearly 100 views today, and it is, again, 6:36 in the morning. I can’t quite call it “viral” yet, but it’s definitely doing quite well.
Also amazing: I haven’t had to slap any trolls around yet, although I don’t expect that to last.
Maybe I’ll get my 100K pageviews for the year after all.
Now all I gotta do is get these folks to buy some books. Good morning, Internet.
It was a fantastic post. It got me into the headspace I needed to finally comment on the topic lucidly.

It was a great post. I made a lot of people read it, and said “That’s how I feel, too!”

“That little post” deserved all the views it got and all the ones it has yet to get. It was wonderful.
