A Single Southern Guy in America

6 Month Anniversary

That's right. This humble ole blog has been alive and kickin' for six months now. It's been an interesting time and I've loved making all the new friends and learning about their lives and times and opinions. This blog phenomena is less and less a phenomena and more and more of a legitimate alternative to other forms of media--particularly in the news oriented blogs.

I won't bore anyone who's not interested in the random statistics I'll post in the extended industry, but I can tell I'm not the most popular blogger ing the blogosphere, but I have some good friends and our little blogherhood of the blogosphere is full of some pretty nice folks. The first six months have been fun and interesting, I'm sure the next will be too!

Keep on reading to see some of the interesting facts about this humble ole blog...

Did I read DARE??????? I am in.... I'll let you know when I'm done. If you see my IP hitting your site constantly, I am not stalking, but merely trying to get all of those words for my story!

Congratulations on your 6-month anniversary! It really does become an interesting way to pass the time most pleasurably. Your 'boring stats' are quite interesting actually.

Six months eh? You'll be at your first blogiversary in no time!

Posted by: Dean Esmay at July 12, 2003 11:17 AM

Congrats!

And you say you're not the most popular blogger in the blogosphere? Well, maybe not, but you're a whole LOT more popular than me, Adam. My visits for January 2003 were my highest this year, and I had only 1,400 hits! :)

Happy six months and many, many more! Weeee!
