In my first post I said &#8220;I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how often I will be updating this but I will definitely try to update this a little more often than my website.&#8221;, if nothing else I know for sure that I did manage to update the blog more often than the main site (which is something I do plan to change BTW by updating the site more often). There were periods where I didn&#8217;t post much and the blog just languished and periods where I posted tons of posts. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some stats as of <strong>2nd Oct 2014<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Total published posts <\/td>\n<td>: 876 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Published Comments [1] <\/td>\n<td>: 560 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spam Comments Blocked <\/td>\n<td>: 438,580<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum posts in a Month (Made in Jan 2010) <\/td>\n<td>: 81 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Media Uploaded <\/td>\n<td>: 26MB <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>I wish I had visitor stats to share but I don&#8217;t because the plugin I was using earlier maxed out my DB size allocation and I deleted the data to bring the site back online. I just enabled a new plugin today that is highly recommended and doesn&#8217;t use that much space (as per the reviews). Let&#8217;s see how that works out. <\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that most of the folks who had active blogs when I started no longer blog actively, for some post once every few months others haven&#8217;t posted in years. Some of you may wonder why that is the case. Well the answer is that I don&#8217;t know. Some folks got busy, some ran out of things to say or just lost interest. I blog because I like to have a way to talk about stuff I have been thinking about, stuff I find interesting or just random things I find online. I think as long as I keep finding cool things I will keep posting about it (Provided I get the time to write posts that don&#8217;t sound like they were written by a 5 year old.) Here&#8217;s to another 10 years of &#8216;successful&#8217; blogging. <\/p>\n<p>Well this is all for now, will post more later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n<p>[1] A lot of the comments were lost when I moved from my old blogging software to WordPress.
