More Than One Million Served

When I first started this here blog, I used the slogan of "A man and his blog...it's a beautiful thing."

When I started taking in wayward bloggers, I realized this was becoming a community of sorts, so I changed the slogan to it's current one, "A blog of the people, for the people and by the people."

Maybe now I need to change it again - to something like "More than one million served."

Yup, sometime late Saturday night, we broke the million visitor mark.

I am humbled and honored that so many of you have come to our little old blog to catch up on the news and learn what the corporate media doesn't want you to know.

On behalf of all my co-authors and myself, I thank you, gentle readers for your continued patronage.

5,000

I was about to sit down and write about something completely different when I noticed that this here is the 5,000th post for Cog Dis.  How appropriate at the change of the year.

Five thousand posts are not bad for a blog that's only 4 1/2 years old.  That comes to just about three hours a day.

I can't take credit for all of the posts, just most of them. ;)

For the proficiency, I need to thank my co-authors; Jeff Simpson, Meg Moen, Shane, Keith and Bert.  And our family is about to grow as new authors are coming aboard.

And we are well on our way to 1.5 million views.  That is really good for a blog that's not a stand alone one.   And not bad for one with 4.3 regular readers either!

For that, I have to thank you, gentle reader.  Without you, we'd just be whistling into the wind.  You are the ones that make this truly a blog of the people, for the people and by the people.

The last few years have been rough for Wisconsin.  And the next few will probably be no better and most likely, even worse.  But we stood in solidarity and made it this far.  I look forward to continuing to stand in solidarity with the good people of Wisconsin as we continue to fight to take our state back - one fish fry, one voter, one Walkergate conviction, one bad law - at a time.

But again, thank you.

And Happy New Year!

PS: What? You thought you'd get away without the obligatory "please help support Cog Dis" line?  Think again.
