Sometime this evening the number of 'hits' on this blog passed a new milestone – 50,000!
I added a ‘hit’ counter on 11th February 2009, and at the time I expected to average about 20 to 30 ‘hits’ per day. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get more than a couple of thousand ‘hits’ per year, but by May 2009 the 5,000 mark had been reached … and then things really took off! The number of ‘hits’ passed 10,000 in June and 25,000 in September.
When I started this blog back on 18th September 2008 I wrote that:
Am I a 'self-publicising, self-centred, self-indulgent blogger'? Well I have tried not to be … but I am probably not the best judge as to whether or not I have been. What I can say is that blogging has given me a great deal of fun as well as giving a much needed structure to my wargaming. More importantly it has also introduced me to a wide group of fellow wargamers who I would otherwise never have ‘met’, and their friendship and support has been the biggest bonus that blogging has brought me.
Many thanks for continuing to read my inconsequential ramblings … and roll on 100,000!

'After much prompting ... and not a little reluctance on my part ... I have decided to take the plunge.Well, I hope that I have not been too boring, and that you will continue to read my blog.
I have now joined the world of the self-publicising, self-centred, self-indulgent blogger.
I intend to share my thoughts on wargaming (and other related matters that crop up) with a wider audience ... probably much to the relief of my wife and wargaming colleagues. So watch this space ... and come prepared to be bored!'
