I was pleasantly surprised by my blog statistics yesterday. For some time, my blog has been comfortably static – regular bibliophile visitors turned blog buddies, along with real life family and friends.

So, today when I logged in and saw my site visits have almost doubled in a single day, I knew I had to investigate further. Could it be my Google doodle video post going viral? No, it was something else…getting featured on the WordPress.com theme page for Selecta that has resulted in so many page views.

Wow! Getting linked from WordPress makes a huuge difference! Thanks WordPress.com for featuring my blog. It’s a great blogging platform (have never looked back since I migrated from Blogger four years back), and Selecta is an awesome theme!
