On 10 years of Infinitefreetime

10 years ago today, I started a blog.

Since then?

10,545 subscribers.

419,908 unique visitors with 745,292 page views.

4,260 posts, counting this one.

Those utter bastards at WordPress appear to have removed all of my writing-related stats, but I hit a million words in November of 2019, and since that was also the 3,000th post it’s probably not unreasonable to suggest that I’ve written about 1.3 million words or so here.

I’ve had at least one hit from damn near every country on Earth. The only voids on the map big enough to see are North Korea, Western Sahara, Guinea, Gabon, and the Central African Republic.

Not bad, for a site literally named after the idea that I was too fucking busy to have a blog.

I love you, baby.

(Also, because I can’t resist: my favorite picture from our wedding.  It’s my favorite because it perfectly illustrates how our family dynamics work.  My brother is the best man and that’s my mom on the right.  My wife is pretending she doesn’t see any of us.)
