Two Year Anniversary!

Happy Birthday The Great Geek Manual!
It’s been two years since my first post! Man, the time flies. I can’t even guess at the number of hours I’ve spent vegging out in front of the television, typing away at this thing.

As of this morning, The Great Geek Manual has 1,185 posts and 17 pages in 39 categories.

I’m certainly no Neatorama, but, in the past two years, I’ve received 575 comments and deleted over twenty thousandth spam messages. I’ve been hovering at around one hundred fifty RSS subscribers and five hundred daily visitors for the past year for a whopping average of two cents of AdSense earnings per day.

It doesn’t seem like much, the “This Day in Geek History” feature that’s now the center of this blog used to be nothing more than a slightly neurotic list I compulsively compiled to kill to kill time when I was bored. Now that I have an audience to share it with, it’s a boring list I compulsively keep as a part of my neurotic but mainstream hobby, and that’s progress that I can take straight to my therapist!

I have to thank my benefactor, HostColor, which continues to support my effort with its stupendous hosting service, which I would honestly recommend to anyone interested in setting up a Wordpress blog even if I weren’t being hosted for free. The folks over at HostColor have been nothing but helpful, so much so that I almost feel guilty that I’m not paying sometimes.

I also want to thank everyone who reads The Great Geek Manual. A few of you have gone above and beyond simple readership to befriend me in the electronic universe I inhabit, MMORPGs and all, but every single one of you are appreciated.

Thanks!
