The Shiretown Blogger's New Year's Message

Saturday, December 31, 2011

The Shiretown Blogger was launched on July 19, 2011. The blog had 200 pageviews within its first month of being up and running.

Nathan DeLong, the sixteen-year-old young man behind it, then set a target to reach 1,000 hits by December. The thousandth total pageview mark was surpassed by September 24th.

The blog's total hit count exceeds 4,400 as I am writing this (Friday, December 30th, 2011). I think it is remarkable to achieve so many positive things in such a small amount of time. In only five months, the blog received over 4,400 pageviews, and has over 190 posts of many different sizes.

The Shiretown Blogger includes community news and stories, a local history page, and a page containing links to various websites in the community. The blog has a Facebook page, where readers can ask questions and share things.

None of my blog's achievements could be reached without the continued support of the readers. Feedback from the blog's readers and the general public has been generally positive. The rate of growth has been overwhelming. I cannot express in words how grateful I am for the community's endless support of this project.

-Nathan DeLong


(By the way, my new target is to reach 10,000 pageviews by July 19, 2012, which is The Shiretown Blogger's one-year anniversary).
