Thanks to all

| May 14, 2008

I’m not much for bragging, but I thought you’d all like to see how this blog is doing. Here’s the traffic since I started blogging here back before the 2006 midterms. These are unique visitors not the total traffic;

As you can see, we’ve been attracting more people in the last few months – mostly because of the big names like Charles Johnson at LGF, Michelle Malkin, Jim Holt at Gateway Pundit, Matt and Jimbo at Blackfive and lately all of the Morons from the Ace of Spades group who saw fit to add me to their herd of Morons. But there are smaller blogs that have been friends for a long time who still find some value here and they deserve thanks, too.

But most of all, it’s my readers who really deserve my thanks. Some who have followed me around the net as I got booted from forum after forum and finally landed here with me as well as the newest flock. It amazes me how people will take time out of their day to make my opinions part of their lives for a moment. Comments have multiplied as quickly as my traffic – and I love it. I guess my investment in the new blog design was worth it.

If I may borrow from William Butler Yeats;

…think where man’s glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.

Congratulations! Well deserved.

Also, being a BIC girl, I love the Yeats.

Rooney

Congrats Jonn- I must say even though I am a newbie I have enjoyed your blog immensely.

What’s with me being Bob’s girlfriend? LOL!! It’s all good.

My offer still stands to throw back a few brews at Irish Times! I’ll buy the first round!

Thus Spake Ortner

I believe it is my turn to cover the libations. Saturday with Blackfive perhaps.

My congrats to you though, I said it before, I’ll say it again, your blog is going places.

Eddie Willers

Congrats, Jonn…although I don’t post often (much to your delight?!?), I regularly read your blog to balance my viewpoints.

Keep working hard – what’s with all the Irish Times references??

“Keep working hard – what’s with all the Irish Times references??”

I agree! Everyone here knows that Murphy’s is a far superior Irish Pub!

Allen Woods

Eddie! Where have you been? I enjoy reading your rants, even though you do get a bit long-winded at times…not to mention idealistic. Haven’t seen you post anything in about two weeks, what gives?

Praising Jonn, though? Interesting. I must say I never thought I’d hear you praise Jonn’s work given the fighting between you two!

Jungle Mom

Well deserved congrats! Hope you will continue to visit my humble little blog!

Eddie Willers

Allen,

Nonsense. You gotta give a man credit when he’s earned it – even when you disagree with him the majority of the time, dig?

Somehow I doubt you are capable of such detachment given your categorization of me as “long-winded” and “idealistic.”

Nonetheless, I appreciate the…um…compliments. I’m around. As my post stated, I regularly read Jonn’s blog…I just haven’t commented much lately.

Rooney

Eddie,
Good to see you back! You missed a good one recently about the principle of not voting. Would have liked to hear your take on it.

As one who held your opinions in high regard on ‘another site’, I’m happy to see your blog going places! Keep up the good work, and thanks for helping keep us informed.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you have a Great blog, Jonn. Whatever success that may befall you as a result of your hard work is well deserved.

Elyse

I’m a newbie who doesn’t comment often either, but I read every day 🙂

Allen Woods

Whoa whoa whoa whoa Eddie…no need to start name-calling! I’m merely making an observation, not damning your intelligence or something.

Methinks you haven’t given up your bitterness during your hiatus. I’m plenty capable of detachment – perhaps you haven’t been paying enough attention?

Typical reactionary garbage. I expect nothing less from a Ron Paul supporter. Ha!

Frankly Opinionated

Hello Jonn:
Great Stats! Danny sent me over here, I’ve bookmarked you, and will be checking in regularly. May even find the time to post at my blog again soon. Been busy with my online shop, supporting my local RANGER Swamp School, and more.

Congratulations, Jonn! I’m jealous!

Eddie Willers

Sheesh, Allen. I’m not taking that bait…this thread is about Jonn’s blog and his readership, and somehow you have turned it into a (pseudo) insult-fest. Classy.

Rooney, I’ll take a gander at the voting debate. I didn’t read it yesterday because I was intimidated by all the comments. Principle of not voting? Is that a principle?

Unlike Allen, though, I’ll re-direct comments to the other thread.

Ray

Congrats Jonn. I take pride in being counted in those stats and have recommended your blog to several friends.

Jonn,

You have a good thing going on with “This Ain’t Hell”. This is quite the gathering place and you’re posting on some good topics.

Congratulations from your friends at RochesterConservative.com!

Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble! One of us! One of us!

Heh, how could we not add ya? Honestly, I’m not surprised your site is taking off, I’m only surprised at how long its took to do so.

You’re one of my first reads as soon as I get settled in at the power plant. Sets the mood for the day.

Well done, buddy. CONGRATS!
