The Best of Difster

My blog is 5 years old this month. This will be post number 551. Most of the posts were written near the beginning when I was blogging constantly, had lots of traffic because I was participating on lots of other blogs. At my peak, I averaged 100 readers per day. According to my site meter, that number is now 8 and almost all of that is from Google searches on various topics and people who click on Vox's blog roll. Mostly I'm just too busy to blog. In the attached picture you'll see one of the reasons I've been busy and really, can you blame me for being too busy for you guys?

So here are my favorite posts out of the 550 I've written. I ended up choosing 70 of them. I like them for various reasons. Some are just too funny to pass up, some make excellent points, some are just dang good writing and some I just like them because I like them. I was going to categorize them but decided not to. In fact, they're not even going to be in any particular order at all except for the first one which is my starting point with anyone on a discussion about liberty.

If you read the comments, they are in order from newest to oldest so start at the bottom. In some cases the comments are more interesting/funny/insightful than the post.

Enjoy!

Approaching A Checkpoint

Some time in the next couple of days, I expect that my Sitemeter will hit an even 50,000.
Now I realize that for some blog (*cough* VOX *cough*) that's nothing but for my humble little corner of the blogosphere, that's quite an achievement.

Truth be told, I expected to hit this mark quite a while back, but I really slacked off my blogging from the days when I was averaging 100+ visitors a day. Back then I was also commenting on lots of different blogs, I'd get traffic from that.

Now most of my traffic comes from the regular readers I have left (THANK YOU ALL) and the Google search hits I get from various topics.

I'm also nearing the 3 year mark of my blog (March 20th). Averaged out over time (rounded to 3 years), puts me at 45 hits a day on my blog. Fairly respectable for a semi-anonymous nobody spewing his thoughts and opinions in to an oceanic collection of other spewings.
