Yesterday was Day 100 of this blog.  Since people like to examine the first 100 days of new regimes, I figured that I’d throw out some statistics, just in case you were curious.  I know I was curious, and amazed.  Amazed that anyone would read my stuff.  Here are the numbers:

Number of posts: 67

Number of comments/pingbacks: 94

Number of spam comments: 1,404 (from Askimet)

Number of subscribers: 23 (from Feedburner)

Number of visits: 959 (from Google Analytics)

Number of pageviews: 1,626 (from Google Analytics)

Three months ago, I never would have dreamed that anyone would want to listen to my ramblings.  Well, you’ve proved me wrong.  Maybe I do have an audience.  I also didn’t know how to use Twitter, and some people will probably say that I still don’t know how to tweet.  But I’m trying to get better (I won’t go on Facebook because I’ve been known to break cameras.  One new social medium at a time).  I’d like to thank you for taking the time to visit the Corporate Barbarian, and a special thanks to everyone who’s left a comment.

So please, come back again!  Remember, if you leave a comment, and you’re signed up at CommentLuv, you’ll get a free plug to one of the posts on your blog.  So keep those great comments coming in!  I’ll post some new drivel starting tomorrow.

• Rant of the Day: Asking for Donations at Work I consider myself a generous person.
