This blog is now two years old. One year ago, I wrote<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had 92 posts (93 counting this one) in that year, which seems like a reasonable number.I\u2019ve had about 8000 visitors to the blog, which seems pretty good. Not up with the big boys (sites like BoingBoing<\/a>) with millions of visitors, but ahead of lots of sites. The visitors have provided some commentary activity (69 comments, about half from me). I only have eight other blogs linking to me<\/a> (ranking the blog 316,042 at Technorati<\/a>) so I need to get the blogrolling thing going better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is amazing the amount of spam comments that are generated. My system has protection against such comments (Akismet<\/a>) and it has caught 2,205 (!) spam comments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My posting frequency is down a little bit with 83 posts (I’d like to get it up to a consistent twice per week) ; comments are up to 123, again half from me; 20 blogs point to me putting my Technorati ranking down to 415,686.\u00a0\u00a0 Average visitors per month has gone from 1000 to 2000.\u00a0 The big increase: I received 38,000 (!) spam comments. Unbelievable!<\/p>\n
The best thing: we are starting to see more blogs on OR. So check out the blogroll and spread the word!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
