A year ago, yesterday.

Since I was away most of yesterday and slept the whole evening, I wasn’t able to post on my blog.

Then, I just realized now that a year ago yesterday, this blog was borne. Happy 1 year old blog! :)

The year could be measured in so many different ways…

… 1,418,894 pageviews
… 406,212 unique visitors
… 726 blog posts
… 7,377 comments
… 621 links from 267 sites
… a couple thousand dollars in Google Adsense
… a few hundred dollars in direct ads
… hundreds of new contacts and clients
… a couple dozen new friends and “business partners”

Thanks to all those who’ve been part of my daily blogging…. :)

Here’s to another year! ;)

Happy First Anniversary and a day, Abe! :-)

Ever the humble gentleman you are, I have a feeling you left out a few …’s in your post. =)

Thanks to everyone!

@ vance & jobert

I was looking back at the archives from my two previous blogs and I realized I have more posts in the last 12 months than I had from October 2001 to March 2005. But them entries were too personal to include here so I let them be.

@ Manuel

I really have this bad habit of not reading my own posts and do some spell/grammar checking. :D I usually do that a day later. The other ‘ses though I feel I should keep to myself. ;)

@ Horatio

Aggregate content generation? Localized content search? I suppose it’s your line of expertise we need on that one.

@ ajay

A ton of those posts were made possible because of your generosity. :)

The math and my english teacher would say your blog is 2 years old. ;-)

May very well be with all you’ve achieved in a year.

happy birthday! Padayon!

yuga, im thinking of writing an article about ploghost for Hane.PH!’s blog.. Some sort of an insight in making a living in the internet, a new generation business minded pinoy.. one thing i am interested to know is that why on all webhosting reseller, ploghost is the only one that has taxes, among other things.. i hope you dont mind…

Sure, shoot me an email about it. ‘Bout taxes, well if you’re a legit business, you need to pay taxes.
