Congratulations to the Bradenton Herald/Bradenton.com staff for the best day ever for online traffic! On Monday, Bradenton.com recorded the highest single-day total page views in the site's documented history.
What led the way? Tiffany Tompkins-Condie's two fabulous photo galleries: the DeSoto Parade and the Spotlight on Manatee's Jail Farm. We also had a lot of breaking news yesterday that drew a lot of viewers, including another slaying in the wee hours.
But the two galleries trumped everything else. Each contains almost 50 photos, both of which took hours. The parade gallery was on deadline (which addresses a couple complaining comments on some repeated cutlines), and the farm gallery was a shared project with reporter Laura Morel for our ongoing examination of the jail's operation.
The favorite photo seems to be one of those we chose for the 1A print centerpiece Monday morning. Not a bad way to start the week!
