January means not only a new year but another blog birthday as well. Yours truly posted his first article on January 5th 2012 and thus it's now four years of blogging behind me and I enjoyed each and every post of it. Really there were time when blogging kept my hobby spirits alive and maybe I would have turned my back to wargaming without our virtual community. Meanwhile I've become a core member of a wonderful club but nevertheless I'm still enjoying to present my or our humble projects.
But now back to 2015. During these twelve months I added 84 posts to my blog. That's slightly less than in 2014 but slightly more than 2012 and 2013. Thus I'm satisfied with the creative outcome of my writing.
Meanwhile the number of registered readers 'followers' reached 249 and Monty's Caravan collected more than 240,000 hits. Many thanks for your constant support and usually encouraging feedback!
As you see it was a wonderful year for me and I'm really looking forward to 2016. The first mentionable step could be taken rather soon because this humble blog is right before 250k hits. Reaching quarter of a million will be celebrated with a raffle, be sure!
A very impressive year Stefan. Congrats on all you accomplished! And happy birthday to your blog.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you about the interaction between our tabletop and virtual communities. We hear it often but it is hard to overstate the positive impact our blogosphere community can have. And dont be overly humble - you are a key part of that too.
