Well, today my blog (this here disturbance) turns three years old. | |
My first entry was the obligatory: “Hello, World!“ | |
I didn’t particularly note the first or second anniversary. I guess, I wanted a certain body of work to accumulate before I thought much about recognizing it as an accomplishment. | |
The blog started slow – about three or four entries per month. Some days I had that many posts alone and then had nothing to say for weeks (days) at a time. Since 17 January 2011, I’ve had a post every day. Most of them are simply quotes which gave me pause and / or made me think and I’m simply passing them on to anybody who happens to stumble across my site. Sometimes I comment on the quote. More often than not, I simply throw them out there for the reader to consider without my bias. Every couple of weeks I post something a little more substantial. When this happens, sports, politics and my family are the normal topics. | |
Other UBIs (“Useless Bits of Information) about my blog: | |
As of today, 29 July 2012, I will have had – | |
988 Posts | |
175 Pages | |
206 Comments | |
I will have used up about 2% allowed free space (about 52 MB); | |
I will have had about 12,000 views (all time) (probably 25-33% are my own views just admiring my handiwork); | |
About 52 of my entries have been book reviews (some entries have multiple books), but basically I’m averaging about a book every three weeks. | |
About 49 of my entries have been movie reviews (again many of the entries are for multiple movies and some are re-reviews of movies I’ve taken a 2nd – or 50th – look at, and just feel like adding more comments to / about. | |
Probably 90% of my pages are song lyrics, poems or speeches which particularly moved me at some point in my life. | |
There about 70 folks following my Blog via the blog (WordPress) itself, but there’s no way to tell how many are looking at it frequently – or simply deleting the notification. Beyond that, there’s another 83 folks following my blog via Facebook and 12 more who follow via twitter. I have no idea what they’re seeing off of twitter feed, unless it’s merely the daily titles. | |
Anyway, three years and no end in sight… | |
I hope you’re enjoying reading my 2¢ worth enough to come back every once in a while, and, as I said at the beginning of all of this, I hope you “Live long and prosper!“ | |
