Or maybe I should rephrase that...how do you manage to write at least one <strong>great</strong> article a day. What did we do with our time before technology!

As of 4:32pm PST, according to MyBlogLog, there have been 12,889 page views on OMB. At this rate I'd predict that today's count will be in the 17,000+ range. In addition to the direct traffic from subscribers the site get thousands of visitors daily from search engines, many hundreds (sometimes thousands) from StumbleUpon, referrals from other sites... and this is just a normal day. On Digg days we are joined by an additional 50,000-100,000 visitors! (Now you see why I've had to upgrade the server a couple of times, and why I created the Rapid Access theme.) Anyway, that's the scoop! :-) John Lisa,

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:50:35 +0000 http://onemansblog.com/2008/02/14/ombs-1000th-post/#comment-35563 Brandon, At the very beginning I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the blog, but I knew I wanted to do something. So I started out posting as many as 2-3 per day. After a while I determined two things: <ol> <li>I wanted to write longer / higher quality articles.</li> <li>2-3 per day was too many for any subscriber to want to read and digest.</li> </ol> So after a while I decided that what I wanted to do was try to put out one article each day, unless there was something special going on - then maybe two on some days. So yes, my personal goal is to write one article each day, and I always post date them so they are released around 1-2am Texas time. Sometimes I'm actually up at 1am still finishing the article for the day, but I try to do whatever it takes to get one out. I figure the least I can do for all you guys is make sure that if you are going to honor me by reading the blog regularly, I should return the favor by actually being reliable. :-) Thanks for the kind comments, John Brandon,

Oh man, did he take <em>that</em> ammo and run with it! The little creep! LOL! Note to self: Keep exclamations to self. ;) That’s very cool you’ve made 1,000 posts!
