A happy blogging birthday to metacatholic. My first post here was May 1st 2007, when I decided to take this blogging lark seriously and move over from some on-off-on desultory attempts on Blogger.
A few boring and nothing much to be proud of stats. In that year I’ve amassed 544 posts (so around one-and-a-half a day), had 61,102 visits, and blotted out 8,462 spam comments.
Many happy returns to me, and a big thank you to all those who I’ve complimented, insulted and otherwise interacted with here or in the comments of their own blogs.

And I’ve just left one too many comments.
Happy blog-day!

Happy first anniversary! I’ve been reading you for about 6 months or so and have you to partially thank for getting into blogging. It’s a convoluted story, but I had pretty much written off blogging as a viable platform for communication until I ran across MetaCatholic and all the other bibliobloggers.
Cheers!

Happy first blogoversary. Your stats are boring but your blog isn’t. Thanks for hitting me hard enough to shake my assumptions.
