New Life To An Old Post

When last we saw THIS Star Wars post from 2014, it had these stats.

4. KCET and Star Wars 784 total page views, Facebook Likes 235 (PBS Engineer’s Chat had quite a lovely discussion going on after I posted the link. They were trying to figure out what type Grass Valley Switcher it was.)

As of this moment (Friday morning 12/18/15 at 11AM), it has 414 Page views in the past 24 hours and 814 Facebook Likes (all time total).

You may ask what happened here.

Well, obviously "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" happened and I decided to resurrect an old post on my blog and at the same time, link the original KCET Post onto my Facebook page.

Immediately, a friend via work, posted it on his page and at the same time Tweeted it on Twitter. I saw that in the middle of the night. I don't know if it helped, but he is a former Marine and also works in TV, so he had the right audience.

Shortly after I arrived at work, my Husband sends me a private message that informed me that KCET had posted it onto Facebook again. I had noticed that it was cleaned up, so I was not surprised.

All day long I kept an eye out on it, watching the comments and seeing the number of Facebook "Likes" rise. It is humbling when something you wrote in the past, can be brought back to life, with a small update and repost.

I was proud of this post last year and I am doubly proud of it today.

May the Force be with it.

The hit board in the photo above shows you what pages are popular on the KCET.org site. Note the top post has 83 viewings going on at the second I took the photo. Mine has only 4...but that made me happy enough.

I hope I can get someone to run the report, so I can see the amount of page views it got. Update, I did get the report run and the new totals are at the top.
