When I first revealed Project X as my 2014 Armies on Parade board that post got 2289 hits all on it's own and it's minor update had 982. I didn't even push those stories on G+ and Facebook like I do with my Print & Play terrain plans [1099 hits]. <br /><br />So I'm thinking people are on the look out for Armies on Parade board ideas. As you are currently starting one that could well be a little gold mine of hits for you... and I know some other bloggers are doing them too [Liam Ainscough] so some WiP shots would be nice ;)<br /><br />No guarantees but it was an interesting spike that I noticed in my own hits.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-20556437968911305322014-09-15T08:45:02.201+01:002014-09-15T08:45:02.201+01:00Thanks Mad Mek it's nice to know it's maki...Thanks Mad Mek it's nice to know it's making a difference in some small way.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-65707424773472849702014-09-15T08:42:55.212+01:002014-09-15T08:42:55.212+01:00Good luck with your own blog, hopefully you'll...Good luck with your own blog, hopefully you'll get to see it all again at Blog Wars 8, if you go.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-30749076053222726072014-09-15T08:39:47.395+01:002014-09-15T08:39:47.395+01:00Thanks Greg, I'm 1,800+ comments so far, so th...Thanks Greg, I'm 1,800+ comments so far, so thanks for introducing a new arbitrary milestone device. Rest assured they're great motivators but I will always try and make sure that the self congratulatory nature of recognising them does not interfere with actual bloig posts.

The to-do list is just going to drive us all into a producing frenzy. Nothing but happy times thanks to your hard work!<br /><br />One motivator I like to keep in mind is comments.

It's almost 12 months ago when you convinced me to have my own blog and at the time I thought "I would give it a go", but being dyslexic I have to it's my worst nightmare, havering to put your thoughts into words for the world to see and be judged, is a mental barrier I wouldn't of expected to over come. But like you said it's the like minded people out there, page views and comments that has made blogging another one of my many addictions or putting it another way, an expansion of my already highly addictive nightly activities with glue, paint and green stuff.
