I haven\u2019t done a lot of year-end posting this year, but I wanted to take a moment and say how grateful I am to the readers of Paperback Theology<\/em>. Because of your support, your engagement in the conversation, your linking to Facebook and Twitter, your sharing of ideas and passion, PT\u2019s readership has grown like crazy this year. I only have stats since the move to Patheos<\/em> in August, but total pageviews for the last five months of the year topped 145,000. (For a little perspective, before 2012 PT\u2019s best month ever was around 8,000 page views. In 2012 PT\u2019s best month was nearly 90,000 page views, and is consistently over 25k per month right now). Not that numbers really matter that much, it\u2019s just good to know that I\u2019m not alone out here! I am grateful to you all, and am looking forward to a great 2013 here at Paperback Theology<\/em>!<\/p>\n
