Afternoon #Warhammer Community my most recent arbitrary milestone is 6,000 and it's all about you, well mostly you and a bit of me - it's comments! Yes this little blog has generated over 6,000 comments, from compliments to critique, rules debate to advice on my print & play terrain, we've had it all. Now in the grand scheme of milestones, as I approach 4 million views I think this is much more important number. Granted, it's significantly smaller but this is people engaging with the blog and is legitimate.
Most of the spam posts have been filtered out and aside from the lost comments when Google+ commenting was lost to the ether these are mostly Q+As from people reading it. I may not have got round to every A to a Q [roughly 3,000 of them] but I still appreciate those who are still finding the blog worth of their attention. Interestingly it took 5 years to get the first 3,000 comments, and 9 years to get the next 3,000 maybe blogging is dying afterall 😂

After 2024 was my least active year so far I want to try and be a little bit more productive, to disprove my own assertion above. I'm going to try and post a bit more in 2025. I've quite a backlog of gaming pictures I want to share, I just need to find a way to balance my time between hobby and blogging. Thanks again for your interaction, I really appreciate it.
I have fallen so far behind with posts already this year, life has just been nuts. Best wishes for 2025, mate.
ReplyDeleteAs is said many times - it is a hobby, not a job. So, if life gets in the way that takes priority. I think we're all well aware of not getting stressed about it. As much as I want to post more, if it's not possible then so be it. On the other hand, you gave me the inspiration for extra content so I ran with it! All the best for 2025 to you too.
DeleteHappy new year and congratulation on this milestone!
ReplyDeleteBlogging might go a bit out of style – but there still is a community of us, that enjoy the longer form with a bit more reading to it. You just get that bit more of the thought process of fellow hobbyists in comparison to Instagram. Looking forward to what you do this year!
Thank you. I have been surprised to see folk on Threads mention they're looking to start a blog, it felt like renaissance for a bit. One aim at least is to post more than last year. I don't know how I'll fit it in but I'm already halfway to beating January 2024's post count. So long as I just beat each month's tally there'll be plenty of content for 2025!
DeleteCongrats! I've only hit 1355 comments in 12 years...drat! :-)
ReplyDeleteA vast majority of my comments are from you, so feel free to mentally add them to your own tally 😉
