Milestone!

I started this blog mostly so I could write down all the things I was thinking about when I started reading comics regularly again. I honestly expected about five people to read it, and those are the five people whom I linked directly to the blog the day I created it, because they're the ones I'd been talking comics with anyway.

But last night I reached over 1000 hits. I know that in the age a bajillion people on the internet, 1000 isn't tons (heh, math wordplay), and I don't know all the stats about unique visitors and page views and blah blah, but it's kind of cool for me. So thanks to everyone that's stopped by, and thanks especially to When Fangirls Attack for linking me so often (most of my traffic is from that site, and most of my time is spent reading through the other links they share) and to those of you who have taken the time to comment and have discussions with/make suggestions to me.

Expect dorky thank yous at every self-imposed milestone (let's say the next one is 5000). It's just how I roll.

Thanks again!

  1. Congratulations on your 1000th hit! I look forward to seeing you celebrate going over 9000 (I am a nerd).

    If you really want to see how many people are visiting your page, I'd recommend going to Statcounter.com and setting up a free account there. You can see how many people read your page per day and the search engine terms that pointed them at your blog. It's good fun but be careful not to get obsessed over page hits, as I sometimes do. ;)

  2. Thanks! I actually use Google Analytics, which seem fine. They're just presented in a really complicated way that sometimes takes me a few minutes to decipher.

    Oh, I'm not obsessed. I only checked every few hours once I hit 900... that's not obsessed, right? ;)
