Sometime yesterday, I just noticed, Grits for Breakfast surpassed its four millionth visitor, according to SiteMeter (representing more than 6.3 million page views). Counting this one, those readers over the years have visited a total of 6,750 individual posts since this blog launched in October 2004. So, Grits thought it felicitous to take this opportunity to say "thank you" to everyone who follows this blog, which at this point includes nearly 1,300 daily email subscribers. Grits for Breakfast matters not so much because of the things I write as because of who reads it and what they do with the information, so thanks for reading and I hope you've found the site interesting and useful.
Since I haven't promoted the email subscription option in a while, let me remind readers that you can receive a daily email with links to the previous day's Grits posts by signing up here.
This blog's readership has grown almost exclusively through word of mouth, so if you like what you read here, help spread the word. Beginning in the fall, there will be a few changes coming to the site that I'll describe later in more detail. But fear not. If Grits has anything to say about it, the best is yet to come.
You're almost as popular as Al Sharpton.
ReplyDeleteNot by a longshot, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWell Grits I read you every day. Not every post every day, but I check you out daily. Who's Al Sharpton?
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Gritsy. Nobody does it better or works harder getting it right.
ReplyDeleteIt was me :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts reliably give us the New York Times point of view. They (the NYT) are continually incensed by Texas and all things Texan. It’s funny though, even with their progressive sentiments, folks in New York City don’t roll over and let the criminal completely rule the roost.
ReplyDeleteStarted reading your blog just to keep up with injustice in the piney woods of E. Tex., keep up the good work.
ReplyDelete1:41, why do you visit here, then, instead of just reading the Times? Very strange that so many folks have virulent critiques of this blog but keep returning of their own accord. You must be finding something here you're not getting at the Times, or why would you bother?
