This blog is five years old this month. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been keeping this blog for nearly my entire adult life, and I have no intention of ever shutting it down. It’s also been a pleasure to have friends (Aaron, Daniel) join me in posting here as they are able.
Blog Stats
According to my WordPress dashboard, there are currently 1,837 posts and 6,599 comments, contained within 46 categories (some of which I don’t really use much). Akismet has protected this site from 208,670 spam comments, though it’s only been active since late 2005, so I’ve probably received quite a bit more than that. Comment IDs are in the 178000 range now, and I think that’s because previous anti-spam plugins I used gave an ID to potential spam comments, but Akismet does not (or else the IDs would be well over 215,000). Also keep in mind that this site has only been powered by WordPress since mid-2004; before that, I used Blogger Pro (and have the hoodie from when Google bought them to prove it) and Movable Type 2.x.
I don’t like “best of” posts, so I won’t do one, but I’d just like to thank you for being a part of this journey.
As you may have noticed, I don’t update this site anywhere close to daily, so you might want to subscribe to the email updates (see sidebar widget thing) or the RSS feed. There are also category RSS feeds if you’d prefer to follow only some of my topics.
Here’s to five more years.
Happy Birthday Radical Congruency.
Thanks for all the great reading and thought provoking posts over the years.
Happy Birthday. My blog turns 4 this week, you guys were one of the first ones I linked to.
I’ve not been near as prolific - 750 posts and 2,231 comments. The Movable Type anti spam plugins I’m using don’t keep track of how many spam comments have been blocked, but it’s been a lot I’m sure.
RC-
You’ve inspired a lot of people, and I want to thank you for that. Here’s to many more than five more!
