This is the sixth anniversary of this blog. This is the 1,711th blog entry.

If each blog entry averages 200 words then that’s 34,000 words. Enough, with pictures, to make a fairly thick book. It’s a good thing I don’t have to try to sell it.

I’ve written about cats, bees, technology, writing, publishing and every fool thing that crosses my mind.

Justine, by far, is the reader who has commented the most, followed by E. Jim. John B. is the only one of my friends who ever reads the blog, at least he is the only one who admits it.

The most popular post is one about Hunter S. Thompson. I don’t know why this should be true.

I’ve been BoingBoinged twice, but the last one was a total bust.

My Technorati Authority is 6 with a rank of 523,728 – lame.

My Alexa rank is 926,353, but Alexa is mostly meaningless.

My Google page rank is 4, which is not bad.

I have 9,666 Yahoo back links which is pretty good.

My Compete Rank is 338,974

The Quantcast rank is 203,198. Quantcast informs me that my readers are Male, Middle Aged, Caucasian, No kids in house, Less Affluent, and Graduates and Post Graduates. Hey that’s me!

My server logs say that I get about 50,100 unique visitors a month – averaging 1,621 a day. I get on the average 3,939 raw hits per day (images and files as well as pages).
