See here for why there was no post yesterday nor today.
Blogosphere
Half Million Visits Milestone
Sometime between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the old sitemeter counter rolled past the five hundred thousand visit point. We don’t have a real high-volume visitors to the site like some of the Pajamas Media folks out there, but we do have high-quality folks like you that read our words. So, thanks for coming around.
The college football bowl season ends next Monday with the LSU/Alabama BCS Championship game. After that, you can expect us to post more frequently than we have this past couple of weeks.
Football Playoff Season
Over the next several weeks, we will be enjoying football. The last three weeks of the NFL regular season is upon us with the playoff season after that. Additionally, college football bowl season is here with three games coming up on Saturday.
Most games will be played on television during prime time. Prime time is when we usually write our blog posts, so you can expect that we will be posting sporadically until after the Superbowl in February. That will be true on the other site as well.
Blogging Day Off
Taking the day off from posting. Enjoy this picture of The Damsel enjoying the view near our new home.
Sixth Blogiversary
It has been a little over six years since we converted our old webpages to the WordPress publishing platform and started to blog. We try to have a new post up every day – some of them conservative political content, some of them about family activities and some of them posting Damsel’s photos. In fact, the first three posts from September 2005 were one of each type of post.
- My reply to Diane Feinstein’s ‘NO’ Vote on Judge Roberts
- The Famous Salvation Army Doughnut
- Damsel Sends You a Lovely Gardenia
The image at the right is the first of Damsel’s lovely flowers posted here.
