By the way, folks, we don't often talk about this, but our traffic is up! A year ago we averaged around 150 visits/day, and this month it's over 450/day.
We know we'll never be competition for the Drudge Report or even Instapundit, but it's a pleasure to know that somebody out there is dropping by. Aw, shucks.
Good blogs with consistent and intelligent posters attract a following over time. Yours was the first I encountered, and inspired me to start my own. I still visit here at least twice a day. My readership over at M.C. & B. isn't close to yours, but I'm hopeful for continued growth. Congratulations on your success, and may it continue!
I'd be jealous, but it would be unseemly. :-)
