10 Likes Milestone

featured image

Yesterday (Sunday, October 2, 2022), was a good day for my blog as “Allow Mistakes” was the first post to receive double digits in the Likes department.

That’s a special milestone for this little blog that went into existence five months ago on Sunday, May 8, 2022.

Other achievements include:

  • 72 total likes,
  • 18 follows,
  • And passing 200 all-time views.

Amidst the hysteria that Blogging Is Dead, I think those numbers are pretty good for five months in the blogosphere. Well, okay, not as good as when I began my first blog in 2007, or my first WordPress blog in 2011, but all my followers seem legit—not a bunch of bots and lurkers that flooded my old blog before I killed it at the beginning of this year.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my milestone.

That’s all for now.

  1. Steve…it took me 7 months to get one like when I started my blog. I was about to give up until Hanspostcard reblogged me and suddenly people started to notice. Congrats!

    1. Wow! That blows me away that it took your blog that long to get noticed. I’m glad we met, Max. I always enjoy your music insights. As for the blogging world in general, it doesn’t seem as popular and active as it was when I started 15 years ago. That was when fellow bloggers welcomed you with all sorts of awards. 😀 It was a different world then.

      1. Yes it is different now…you are right….there is not as many as it used to be. I have a baseball blog that does nothing…BUT I don’t hardly post so that is part of it.
        I would have liked to seen it back then. I’ve noticed my numbers are dropping since last year.

      2. I didn’t know you had a baseball blog … I would have followed it. I used to have a blog three years ago about some of my characters from my stories and books, but it didn’t do well … something like 5 followers after a year before I shut it down. Some of those old posts appear here when I talk about my fictitious town Ridgewood.

      3. Well my stuff I have to admit..my blog is much easier than your stuff. All I have to do is research…you have to create…so I admire you for that. I tell you what…when I start posting in my baseball blog again…I’ll tell you.

      5. You also Steve… I grew up in TN but my dad liked the underdog Brooklyn Dodgers…so I grew up a Dodger fan in the seventies with Cey, Garvey and the rest.

      6. I grew up in northwestern PA; I liked the Pirates and my younger brother liked the NY Mets. He was a Tom Seaver fan and I was a Roberto Clemente fan. Neither of us liked Cincinnati, so we would cheer for each other’s teams when they played the Reds. There were a lot of Indians fans in town, but we didn’t mind since they were in the American League. I miss those days from the 60s and 70s and all that artificial turf.

      7. I joined you two on hating the Reds! Clemente was such a great player…I’m glad he got the chance to show it off in that World Series near the end of his life.

      12. It’s funny though that the Pirates were scouting for pitchers and ended up with a top-notch outfielder and hitter instead. But they finally got some good pitchers to take them to the 1960 World Series and beat the Yankees in 7 games.

      13. I love watching that replay of that homerun! Anytime the Yankees get beat it’s a good thing…I was watching the 1981 World Series last night…I have all the games…its my favorite Ws

      14. I follow the Pirates on YouTube and still enjoy watching their 3 WS wins … 1960, 71 and 79. Stargell was another favorite player. He struck out swinging for the fences a lot, but when he connected, the ball would sometimes clear the stadium. I have a great memories of those days and fond recollections of those old stadiums no longer standing.

      15. I have followed them since 1979…the We Are Family team with Pops. I can’t imagine pitching back then to Stargell or Dave Parker who seemed like a giant.
