LUTD Breaks Old Record

Thanks to interest in the Downing Street Memos, and many links to our stories from sites including Buzz Flash and the Daou Report (plus a link today from AlterNet on a different topic) we have broken our previous record for page loads at Light Up The Darkness.

Moments ago we passed our old record 0f 6017 page loads for a single day, with a few hours to go due to the stat counter being set on Pacific time. This is on top of the 4019 page loads yesterday, bringing the total to over 10,000 and running.

The recent stories on John Kerry's plans to raise this issue when he returns to the Senate have generated the bulk of the interest. A listing of many of our stories related to the Downing Street Memos can be found here.

A combination of the support from our regular readers and frequent links on major blogs has greatly increased our readership over the past couple of months. The last time I posted regarding the growth of Light Up The Darkness, breaking 1000 page loads on a single day was something which happend intermittently. Now it happens on a regular basis, with our average now exceeding 1500 page loads per day.
