Slaw — by the Thousands

I’m proud and a little surprised to be able to say that yesterday I posted my 1000th entry on Slaw. It’s almost three years since I started blogging here — our anniversary is July 8, so stay tuned for the celebration — and the time has whizzed by. And curiously, as I reached the millennial mark, we as a group were also reaching a pair of important milestones (should say “kilostones” I guess): there have been 3003 posts to Slaw since its inception, and 4010 comments made on those posts.

And while we’re counting by the thousands, let me report that May was our busiest month ever for visitors, racking up an average of 5,064 a day for a monthly total of 157,010 visits by our readers (resulting in over 1.3 million hits that month).

May I say thank-you on behalf of all of our great contributors here. We’re gladdened by numbers like these.

  3. Behold the master: 1000 of Slaw’s 3000 posts. Well done Simon!

    We’re thankful that you don’t maintain a personal blog and split your time, like some of us loafers. :)
