Not great, but (as I always rationalize) it is better than a kick in the teeth.

Not getting close to the 300/day MY old blog used to get but that had been around for a longtime & had painfully build-up quite the following. But, that one had to go.

I need a BLOG attached to my Website: i.e., guruge.com.

And that is what this is: guruge.com/blog.

Yes, I definitely could have done better. But, I don’t make money off this blog. So, c’est la vie. I am happy & some of YOU too appear to be happy. So we are ALL COOL.

THANK YOU for YOUR continued SUPPORT.

Please keep on coming back.

There are 962 posts on the blog! That comes to 2.6 posts a day. I am cool with that. Makes sense. I aim to do at least one and ideally three a day.

The blog has had 28,128 views. That is 77 views a day. That is NOT great but better than 0. Much better than zero. My old blog was averaging 300 a day BUT it had been up for over 12 years and got stellar ranking by Google.

I am OK with the current hit rate. Yes, I would like more, BUT that is purely for ego. This blog is NOT monetized! Truth be told it is mainly for I. It is my journal. I can look back at any day & have a fair idea as to what I was up to — & of course the daily ‘Picture of the Day + 6 Others‘ is a huge help. I have been doing those posts, without even a single miss, since about 2016. That is a lot of pictures.

Well, here, with luck, is to the next 12 months. Wish me luck.

Please come & visit. Leave a comment or two. Thank YOU.
