Today is the 8th birthday of this blog.
Wow time flies, I was reading through some of my first posts and I remember what I was doing like it was yesterday. Saying that, a lot of water has gone under the bridge.
The Evil Speedo Corporation suing me for promoting speedo style swimwear was a big event for sure. That is the only major mainstream press I’ve ever had and seeing my name in the paper was pretty kewl. Speedo won the court case but had no way of implementing the ruling. The funny thing is, the boost in visitors was off the charts.
Meeting readers of this blog has definitely been a highlight – be it for naughty speedo fun or just a cup of coffee. There are also other bloggers who I consider friends that I wouldn’t have met without starting this blog.
Because of the support of readers joining my site SwimmerBoyz.com, I’ve been able to keep this free and relatively advertising free – I have never resorted to a pop-up banner and I hope I never have to. I hope I can keep this free as well.
I love the feedback I get from you guys. Occasionally I’ll post something a little more controversial and I love the different opinions that are shared.
Here are some stats:
- 2,920 Days
- 1,826 Posts
- 5,836 Comments
- 3,325 Photos
That is about all I have to say, 8 years down, hopefully a lot more to come.
Speedo on!!!
It has been just shy of 7 years, I’ve lived in maybe 20 different ‘homes’, 4 different countries and I’m not going to embarrass myself by saying how many boys I’ve been with – and a few girls as well – hehehehehe.
This blog post is my 1,600th – there have been just over 5,000 comments (more than 3 per blog post – thanks a bunch guys – it is the comments that keeps me writing).
Yesterday there were 5,136 unique visitors here.
I have hooked up with…. I mean, I’ve met at least a dozen blog readers over that time and I’ve hooked up with 2 of my str8 friends because they found ME through this blog.
There are a few of us ‘old’ bloggers about and those include Shaun from the old ‘Gizzard’ blog, Mel P who got me started and taught me about WordPress and of course Brenton P from Aussielicious – great online friends who I’ve gotten to see grow over the last half decade – they’ve only seen me just get more immature over time. I’ve learnt a bunch from those guys.
Blogging has turned into being kewl and I’m told some people make money from it – it is kewl when someone notices me from my blog but it doesn’t make me any money – you guys are wonderful in supporting me by checking out my site SwimmerBoyz.com but I’ve never put up a pop-up ad and I’ve never directed you off to some random bogan porno site to make a couple of cents from Google Ads.
Your support has been fantastic….
God only knows where the next 7 years and the next 1,600 posts will lead….
….. No matter what, I’ll be here – I hope you will be along for the journey.
