It’s been three years since I started blogging at Below The Beltway.
After starting out on Blogger, I moved to a real server, and real blog software in April 2006, and, notwithstanding a very dry spell during September and October of last year, it’s been nothing but writing, writing, writing since then.
And people actually seem to be noticing. Through today, roughly 580,000 people have visited both the Blogger and Wordpress versions of the site and I’ve received links from several big-time bloggers, including a lot of traffic over the past year as the Presidential campaign has heated up.
But I don’t do this to watch the Sitemeter numbers rise, I do it because I enjoy writing and this seems to be a good way to keep my skills sharp. The fact that people notice is just icing on the cake.
Anyway, thanks for visiting and posting comments. And keep coming back.
And yes, the two week long mostly hiatus will be coming to an end soon.
Congrats on a job well done and keep up the good work!
Mega Dittos Doug! Now if you can find a way to make a living on it, you’re set!
Congratulations on the third anniversary of your blog!
