I’ve been at this blogging thing for one week shy of 25 months.
It seems like a week ago that I hesitatingly posted my introductory piece, a bio. With no pictures.
It seems like 250 months ago that I decided to post at least once a day.
Anyway, according to the math of the WordPress monkeys, I’ve reached a milestone. Yesterday, they sent me this notification.
That’s a lot of asdfjkl’;’s.
I couldn’t have done it without my dear wife Karen, Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and you, dear readers, followers, friends.
Thank you.
See you in, what, a couple of minutes …
Is once a day or more too much for you when you’re reading my blog? Is there something you’d like to see more or less of here? If you could pick one thing you haven’t seen me write about yet but would like to read here, what would that be?

Congrats! Really impressive. I enjoy your posts. I will admit, if someone posts more than one a day and I’m having one of those behind on reading and too many people posted days, I often only read one. But your posts are good so most days you’re one of the rare ones for whom I’ll read however many you post.

You have inspired me to keep going with the streak, Bill, helping me with the WordPress stat math regarding DST after the monkeys told me I missed a day, remember? That at the Reege holiday card kept me going for the month of January, for God’s sake. 🙂 Seriously, you do your thing so well, it’s inspiring. Don’t forget that. You’ll get the cool 1000 badge before you know it.

Hey congrats. That’s one hell of milestone. According to WordPress, I just posted number 881, but that includes nearly 300 I imported from my old blog site, so really it’s closer to 600 posts in the 20 months I’ve been blogging on WordPress. So I appreciate the magnitude of creating 1,000 posts in 25 months. Good for you.

I don’t think it matters so much if one or more posts is too much for me Mark, it’s what feels good and right to you that matters. ❤ You're one of my faves here in the blogisphere and although I am not always able to read every post you write (I follow about 200 blogs!) I do try to read at least one of your posts every day. Keep doing what you are outstanding at doing my friend! 😀
