Today marks the 15th anniversary of the first post on the Webner House blog, which occurred on February 1, 2009. What began as a Christmas present from Richard in 2008 has become a daily habit and part of my standard morning wake-up routine. I have to admit that it’s been a lot of fun and somewhat fascinating, too.
According to our WordPress platform, which has proven to be easy to use and reliable, during those 15 years the blog has published 10,147 posts, collected 727,626 views, welcomed 291,005 visitors, received 6,808 comments, and garnered 4,850 subscribers. The maps provided by WordPress show that Webner House posts have been viewed by people located in countries around the world. That’s what sticking around for 15 years and producing at least one post a day will do for you.
I write about random things that are on my mind, which might be travel, science, TV shows, modern life, memories, food, sports, or just about anything else. One of the surprising things about writing blog posts is that you never know what might interest people. Our most viewed post in recent years, for example, was this one about the Mr. Green Jeans character on Captain Kangaroo, which has been checked out by thousands of people since it was published on September 20, 2022. Why has it been of more interest than other posts? Beats me–but I’m glad people seem to like it, and seem to like our humble little family blog.
