Year One
It is June 2023. This blog is one year old. It is my project in retirement, along with skydiving, brewing beer, playing games, leading senior singalongs, eating healthfully, and hopefully soon, tutoring school kids in math.
This blog began with a number of posts I had written in the years between 2010 and 2022, so it got off to a fast start. It now has 76 published posts, comprising over 44,000 words and 370 images. It has received just 20 comments that were not obviously spam, and many times that that obviously were. Its pages have been viewed about 2300 times by about 1000 viewers. Most viewers came from following links I posted on Facebook. Quite a few have come from Dr. McDougall’s Forums, and a few from search engines such as Google and Baidu, and one each from duckduckgo.com and Bing. Some views came from links in my comments on The I-Mentor Web-LOG. 3 views came from Twitter and 2 from Pinterest, neither of which I post upon. This blog has two subscribers. With numbers like these, one could say it has “gone antiviral.”
The posts fall into 7 categories, with considerable overlap.
