Resting on my Laurels

March 29th, 2008 by zen

I noticed this morning that last month I hit the five year mark as a blogger. Last week, at some point, I went over 250,000 hits. The interesting thing is that it took me almost five years to accumulate 200,000 hits but only five months to rack up the next 50,000+ .  A good trend in my view, for which I would like to thank my readers and commenters – it is your interest and stimulating feedback that makes Zenpundit worth doing.

In honor of this anniversary, I’m taking the day off and will return to blogging Sunday night. Have a great weekend everyone and thanks!

    Wow, 5 years!

    So, are implicit or explicit rule-sets ever-changing?

    Damn, half a decade?  Congrats for what has become from your hard work and original thought a highly successful endeavor not only for yourself (in traffic) but for your readers (continuing education and challenging discussion).
