My first post on this blog was six years ago today. I hadn't a clue what I was doing or why I was doing it.
Six years, 7,915 posts, and more than four million visitors later, I still don't. I hope to figure it out sooner or later, though, so stay tuned!
(It is, by the way, purely a coincidence that the Indy Blogmeet is today.)
Congrats Tam! With those stats you have something "figured out." :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I intended to show up for the blogmeet, today, especially when I read that Peter, and his wife, presumably, plan to attend, as he is a Raven, too, I understand, but.... I am driving back home, today, and you are only few hundred miles up, so I could easily make it before 3, but could only stay a few hours, and would still not get back until about midnight, with Monday being another work day, unlike next week. Sorry.
Happy Blogiversary! Yours is one of the first two blogs I ever read, so I blame you for getting me hooked! :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the blogmeet!
My b-day is also VFTP's? I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats; like Christina, yours was the second blog I ever visited in '06, coming here from Xavier's...and it's still about the only one I visit regularly.
Have a good blog meet-up!
FKA AT
Congrats, I love it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but I think I first got here via a link from Kim. Been a daily stop (sometimes more than once) every day I have internet access. You've easily crammed 12 years worth of good stuff into the 6 years you have graced us with your musing, and I hope to see another 20 years of snarky goodness.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

W00t! Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteYours is one of the first blogs that I started reading years ago. It would have been early 2005.

Happy Blogversary Tam. You fumble about better than some of us write on our best days.

ReplyDeleteI very much appreciate all of the "free ice cream" and will stick with you as a reader through thick and thin. Your blog is an "always stop" for me.

ReplyDeleteHope to see you, et al., later today.
Happy blog-day! Or blogversary! Or whatever the word happens to be!
ReplyDeleteYou and Drudge are always the first reads of the day. Congratulations and please keep writing. I found you through Kim duToit, and through you, Bobbie, Brigid, Insty, and many others. Thanks for your efforts.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! And many, many more!
ReplyDeleteAfter a while, you quit wondering why you do it and start wondering how you managed before you were doing it. Trust me on this.
ReplyDeleteWooo blogiversary! Teh foot is not cooperating and will keep me inside today, so I will say my congrats here. (And I had a present for you and everything! Next time ... )
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is one of the first I discovered when I started reading a lot of them, a few years ago, and I visit everyday I'm on a computer.
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blogiversary.
ReplyDeleteYours was the third blog I found by way of Don Gwinn's. I'm still coming back on a regular basis.
Congratulations!
ReplyDelete(Hmm... How did I find this blog, waaay back then? Probably via Kim Du Toit :-) )
Well done and many more!

You're always my first stop in the morning, Tam. Here's to many more years!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tam!
ReplyDeleteYours was the first blog I read daily when I discovered there was such a thing as a gun blog.
It's still my first read of the day.

ReplyDeleteThanks for everything!!!
Congrats girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I wish that I could have been in Indy for the party.
ReplyDeleteWill there be t-shirts soon?? Lunch boxes, caps, pens, mouse pads? :) I am serious about the t-shirts!
ReplyDeleteRead your blog every day, have done so for years and am always informed, amused, angered and GRATFUL to you for taking time to write for we, your fans.
Thanks much! T-shirts would be very cool, maybe black with a pocket? Mmm?
Congratulations, as well as many thanks for the reading enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteI must apologize for my tardiness. But I plead distraction. I've been spending the last day counting on my fingers and googling old posts. "Only six years? Wow! Where did the time GO?"
ReplyDeleteSeems I've been reading VFTP for a lot longer, relative to its total age, than I thought.
Congratulations on making it this far. Seems you do, indeed, have something figured out. Good on ya. Keep up the good snark.

TW: nener: heh, indeed.

ReplyDeleteCongrats, it seems like much longer!
