You only have yourself to blame...a milestone and a little giveaway
It happened late last night or early this morning, depending on your perspective. I knew the time was close at hand.
The blog went over 100,000 hits. It's a drop in the bucket compared to 30 Year Old Cardboard who just hit 500,000 (and is having a contest to celebrate), but I never expected to be around long enough or have enough readers to hit 100K.
When I started this blog on October 1, 2009, I was obsessed with hits and followers, two numbers that I still pay attention too, but don't obsess over. I'm still thankful to have almost 200 followers and to hit a milestone like this means a lot and I can only say thank you to everyone who has ever clicked on one of my posts.
Well, I can say thank you and have a little impromptu giveaway. Leave a comment on this post and I'll randomize a winner and send them something to celebrate this milestone.
Thank you everyone!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone. I used to be big time obsessed with my stats too, but I've learned to try not to care about it. I admit, I do still check, I just don't put much faith in them.
