Today marks the One-Year Anniversary of Gooblink's Obstreperous Heart!
From the first time I read Gooblink in Dr. Suess's <i>The Gink</i>, I knew it was the word for me. I was so excited when I Googled Gooblink and it came up dry. Now, there are at least 2 full pages of references. Mine - all mine!
I remember when I hit the 'Publish' key on my first post and waited with bated breath for those traffic stats to climb.
Today marks the One-Year Anniversary of Gooblink's Obstreperous Heart!
From the first time I read Gooblink in Dr. Suess's <i>The Gink</i>, I knew it was the word for me. I was so excited when I Googled Gooblink and it came up dry. Now, there are at least 2 full pages of references. Mine - all mine!
I remember when I hit the 'Publish' key on my first post and waited with bated breath for those traffic stats to climb.
And waited.
And waited.
Hmmm. Is this thing on? Sent e-mail to all my friends and family, notifying them of my new blog.
And waited.
Sent mass-e-mail campaign to all my Outlook contacts - even the people I don't remember - with shameless self-promotion of my blog.
And waited some more.
Began randomly dropping cards reading "gooblink.com" throughout Austin and surounding areas... .
Now, 1 year later, hits to my site have reached the bandwidth breaking volume of, oh, 1600 per day, out of the estimated 10s-of-millions of people who surf the web.
My little corner of the cyberworld.
I thought I'd share some of the highlights - some of my favorite posts, at least - in case you've joined the party late. And if you've been reading, please drop me a comment and let me know. We bloggers are a narcissistic bunch who measure our worth in 'number of hits' and 'comments.'
You know, like guys and their shoe sizes.
Enjoy! And Thank You for coming back to visit!
