Weekly News: First Birthday of Monty's Caravan !


One year ago on 10th January 2012 Monty's Caravan went online. Actually it started as a kind of self-motivation-workbench-diary-thing but since then I got so much kind support by my highly valued readers that the blog earned its own right to exist.

Thank you all a lot for that !

So after one year please allow me, to present some statistics:

Posts: 74 (average 1.5 posts per week)

Followers: 122

Visits: 19.930 (best month was November 2012 with 3.242 visits)

Comments: 585

Your favoured articles:
1.) 505 visits: Bolt Action Game Report 09th November 2012 
2.) 371 visits: Liebster Blog Award for Monty's Caravan ! 
3.) 299 visits: Blackpowder AAR: The 2nd Siege of Kolberg (fictional Napoleonic)

This year of blogging was a new experience and a lot of fun for me and I'm looking forward to the next year in the bloggosphere. I got acquainted with a lot of interesting blogs and friendly people (that's you!) and I hope to spend more great time here in 2013.

  4. Happy Blog Birthday Monty! Definitely a very enjoyable and worthwhile addition to the blogosphere. I started mine for basically the same reasons. Don't ever let it become/feel like an obligation, just a fun extension of your hobby.

    Speaking of starting new blogs, I'd like you to check out (and hopefully follow ;-) ) my new 1813 Napoleonic blog. It's a joint project with my friend Eric who is totally new to Nap., although both of us are just starting our 28mm armies. Should be fun. :-)

  11. Well done Monty - looking forward to more. Must admit my own AAR's seem to derive the most hits - I guess people enjoy reading battle reports!
