This is my one thousandth post!
When I started blogging in 2007 I had no idea what an
important part of my life it would become. Some folk keep diaries, others journals.
But my blog is nothing more than a place to record whatever is going through my
mind at any particular moment be it a
story, a poem, a memory or a random thought. Some posts attract no hits at all,
and the majority struggle to reach double figures. Yet others get masses of
readers. For instance chapter 19 of my autobiographical series A Chequered Career
has so far netted 1,890 visits whilst My FriendRosey who has a large following
regularly attracts over 1000 readers to each episode. I little thing I wrote
about Facebook called Our Friends are Revolting has bizarrely scored 3874 hits
to date and it’s still rising!
But that’s not what drives me to continue. For me it’s
personal, and if anyone else gets pleasure from it, then that’s a bonus for me.
So continue I shall. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Your support over
the years has been greatly appreciated.
I'm with you on that blogging is more for me, than the following...
ReplyDeleteQuite an achievement Keith congratulations on keeping going that long - I still have quite a way to catch up with you only three years so far. Here's to your next seven.
ReplyDeleteThat's good going, Keith! I don't look at the stats etc but I'm up to 470 posts or so and I started in September 2011. It's addictive, isn't it? Merry Christmas, sir :)
ReplyDeleteWrite on! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI have only been blogging for 3 years however I am with you about it being personal and a way of keeping in touch. Have a healthy, merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You have a gift for titles, so I'm not surprised your posts have a lot of appreciative readers. "Our Friends are Revolting" is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you on this achievement. I will have to go check out some of those other posts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! 1000 posts is no mean achievement, and means I have a lot of reading to catch up on! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. I always like having visitors.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the reaching 1000 posts! Your "Our Friends Are Revolting!" is funny and makes good points.
I'll soon reach my fifth year of blogging. It's now as much a part of my life as Facebook. :-)
