The first photo from 2005
 |
| Spain December 2022 This baby is old enough to vote, in some ways it is hard to believe that I have been blogging for 18 years. In the early years, it was all seen through the eyes of Travel Penguin, then I stepped out from behind the curtain. Travel still gets around, he lives in my messenger bag, but does not often come out for a photo. He is my mascot, my comfort object. The cameras and computers have changed a lot over the years. Some of the earliest images are scans from prints from film, though I had started to use digital by the time I started posting. The digital cameras have progressed. I am hoping that the camera system I am using now will last the rest of my life. Most of the posts have been created on a desktop computer, a handful on laptops, even fewer on a phone. I do wish that the computer software people would maintain consistent file folders across platforms, and software updates for photos. There are a few lean years, with only a handful of postings, then I decided to get serious about this. I take the commitment to blog daily seriously. I have only missed one day since 2015. I have no intention of stopping as long as I am able to do this. I have created over 4,000 posts, and have received over 33,000 comments, about 840,000 page views, currently I get about 10,000 page views a month. (For those that wonder, that number of views generates about $10 a month in advertising revenue - more if the ads are good and people click on them.) So today's Sunday Five: 1: How long have you been blogging? 2: About how many posts have you created? 3: About how many page views per month? 4: How many views over the years? 5: Do you plan to continue blogging? My answers: 1: How long have you been blogging? 18 wonderful years 2: About how many posts have you created? a little over 4,000 3: About how many page views per month? 10,000 4: How many views over the years? 800,000 5: Do you plan to continue blogging? Yes, Please share your answers in the comments. |
