Reader Appreciation Day

Being as this is February 29, 2012, I decided that it would be an appropriate reader appreciation day (a really arbitrary decision). Thanks to all those of you out there who have put up with my rambling style of commentary and my bad jokes (mostly too obscure for anyone to detect). I have seen a steady and dramatic increase in readership especially over the past year. To give you an idea of how Genealogy's Star is fairing out in the wild jungle of the Internet, here are a few statistics for whatever they are worth (not a whole lot, I presume). This blog post is beginning to remind me of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

On Alexa, (the link probably won't work) Genealogy's Star enjoys a rank today of 73,217 in the U.S. which means absolutely nothing to me but it sounds impressive. Hmm, lets see, the definitely mommy blog posted by Stephanie Aurora Clark Nielson called Nienie, is today ranked 17,479 in the U.S. Probably, higher than everyone except Dick Eastman who is ranked a fabulous 9,671 today. I say, today, because the ranking change from minute to minute and any rank is nothing more than a snapshot at the particular time of the ranking. 


According to Google Analytics, my readership has a rather steep increase over the past year. Thanks to all of you who put up my writing, lack of proff reading (alright it was intentional) and etc. 


Will I keep writing? Yes, there doesn't seem to be any possibility of stopping right now or ever. The train is moving too fast for me to jump off. Right now, as of today, at the present moment, I an writing for the following:


Genealogy's Star
FamilySearch TechTips
Walking Arizona
Family History Expos Blog (where I am now officially employed)
360Cities.net  (shows up on Google Earth) search for James Tanner


and once for MyHeritage.com.  I also have several inactive and mostly abandoned blogs out there in bloglandia.


I have the following book


The Guide to FamilySearch Online


and I am working on another book on the FamilySearch Research Wiki. I plan a lot more publications, especially eBooks, in the future. There are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a week and I can only type so fast. Let's hope (or maybe dread) Voice Recognition finally gets working for me. I am also writing a whole lot of class proposals and handouts and other stuff like emails and a very few legal briefs.
