One week later, on Nov. 18, the number eclipsed 500,000. Before leaving SC State for the day, I noticed the number was around 499,640. By the time I settled in at home that evening, the number had climbed to 500,061. 🍾 I didn’t pop the champagne, not literally anyway. But wow! I’m excited to reach such a milestone. In May 2010 I launched my BirdsEyeViews blog with this short post titled "Time to Blog!" I wrote a post in May of this year to recognize 15 years of relentless blogging. Actually relaxing is the better word because I’ve always found this hobby a good one, time well spent. Satisfying is another appropriate word.
Back in early June when I did the 15th anniversary post, the counter was in the 390,000s. I’m struck by how in the five and a half months since that post I’ve had more than 100,000 page views. That’s about 20,000 views a month. My blog is definitely getting more looks these days. Why? Not sure. I've always made good use of embedded links, label words and descriptive headlines. That helps, I'm thinking.
