New Year&#8217;s afternoon turned into a little bit of a hectic day for me, actually causing me to scrap my afternoon\/evening plans, but I did get a chance to drive to high ground along the way and snap a quick sunset photo.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m about to wrap things up for the night and put my little boys to sleep, but here are some quick numbers from my last two years of blogging. I started this blog with a photo of the ND State Capitol Building lit up with &#8220;2006&#8221; in the windows, and that&#8217;s how I started 2008. In the two years in between:<\/p>\n<p>This blog has served 984,138 invidual pages;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been visited by 459,070 individual readers;<\/p>\n<p>The site&#8217;s busiest day was January 14, 2007, with 12,051 pages viewed;<\/p>\n<p>The total hit count (includes images, pages, ratings, and messages sent to me via the Contact Me link: 119,415,870!<\/p>\n<p>Yikes. For just some guy with a camera, I&#8217;m flabbergasted. Hopefully folks keep coming, hopefully you&#8217;re entertained when you get here, and hopefully I can sell a couple of banner ads to local businesses to pay for the cost of operating this thing. I&#8217;m looking forward to 2008 on BismarckMandanBlog.com, and I hope you are too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is.
