Today my blog received its 10,000th hit. Sure, for bloggers like Real Live Preacher and Pomomusings, that’s unremarkable. But for a previously skeptical new blogger like me, 10,000 hits in four months ain’t half bad.

As has been pointed out many times, blogging is a narcissistic activity. This is true, but not solely so. For me, blogging connects me to friends, colleagues, strangers, and annoyers from all over the world. I could go on about the online community, the Holy Spirit working in new ways, or any of my new blogging buddies, but instead, in the narcissistic spirit, here’s a little about my blog.

Total posts: 75

Total hits: 10,000 and counting

Total comments: 221 (plus 270 caught by spam guard); I’d like to increase these

Top few posts: Burns Supper, Christmas Eve Sermon workshop, Vote Obama for Eschatology

Random search engine hits: 1600 sin washing machines, what is bicarbonate soda good for, cumnock – what does this word mean, where to buy obama hope bracelets, fresh & easy

Even though I’ve hit a milestone, I’ve been having trouble increasing my daily hits recently. The Bible series has been great, but it hasn’t brought as many new hits as I had hoped. So spread the word, put me in your blog roll, please let me know of any hits helps, and visit often.
