I had a super time on Friday chatting about the blog with the blog’s co-founder Tracy, and the newest member of the blog team, Alison.
It reminded me of how long we’ve been doing this (since 2012!) and how much the community has grown. We’re a team of eight regular bloggers, but more than twenty of us have written on either a weekly or monthly (or more!) basis for the blog. We think of that group as the blog team since many of the former regulars continue to write and post on an “as the mood strikes” or “as the need arises” basis. If you count all the people who have ever written a guest post for us, it’s more than 150.
Some other significant numbers? More than 20,000 people subscribe to the blog, 21,838 to be precise.
Hard to believe there was a time when we thought it was just a blog for Tracy and me and that maybe, just maybe, our close friends and family would read it.
So today I was struck by another significant number. We’ve published 7000 posts.
I’m not sure if you’d asked me I could have guessed how many posts we’d published, but 7000 seems like a very big number. WordPress tells me that more than 3000 were under my name, but it’s not like I’ve written more than 3000 posts as I often upload posts for guests.
Number 7000, by the way, was by Christine on getting to the heart of things.
