Just looking over some of the numbers…

I’ve been officially blogging since April 28, 2005. That’s roughly 2557 days.

I’ve posted 4,332 different posts – or an average of 1.6 posts per day.

It probably helps that in November 2006 I had 151 posts that month.

I have 27 drafts that have yet to see the light of day – and maybe never will.

I currently have 11 different pages on this site – a number that changes on a fairly regular basis.

I’ve received 2,741 comments¹.

I have 34 different categories on my blog (geeze?!) and Faith is the most populated category with 951 posts.

And I’ve uploaded 769 images to various posts – not including images posted to Flickr or various other sites.

I’ve changed directions on this blog countless times and right now I’m really missing the ebb and flow I used to have with just sharing cool things and ideas on the web. Somewhere along the way I got too focused on trying to be a “serious” blogger and started using social media for the random links throughout the day. Even though that’s also led to COUNTLESS broken links on my site now, I miss having a solid repository of those things that stood out to me over the years. Twitter and Facebook just don’t have a solid way of making those things searchable or accessible in their archives.

So, there may be another shift in the works — again. I’m swearing off Facebook again for a month and hoping to use my blog more and more for the posts I usually share there.

So here’s to the next seven years and wherever the journey takes us.

¹I know that number is a bit high because I continually find places where Disqus duplicated comments in my database. #facepalm
