Clare's Dad

And…

I’m not back. Well, I’m back. Because I’m writing this. But I’m not really back. I’m just here to wrap up some business.

In a couple of days, the only address for this website will return to www.claresdad.wordpress.com. Some of you probably never even changed your link if you had one (that address had brought you here too). Some of you probably never even updated from my old Blogger address; I lost quite a few readers when I changed to WordPress. (Although, if you never updated from that, you’re probably not reading this here.)

As I logged in to write this post, I noticed that I had written exactly one hundred posts on WordPress for this blog. (This post is one hundred one.) Nobody but me may be interested, but I thought I’d share some statistics from the past five years.

Since August 22, 2005, I wrote 509 posts for Clare’s Dad. In that time, I had 2,849 comments (not counting spam). Not bad considering that I went through long periods of inactivity and a change in the web address. I didn’t check the visitor statistics on Blogger (it’s been so long that I don’t even remember where to find those), but I know that at the height of this blog, there were hundreds of daily readers. That’s nothing for larger blogs, I know, but for me it was pretty special.

Thanks again for joining us along the way—especially to those of you who have commented and become friends.  Stay in touch. If you don’t know where to find me, just ask. We may not be blogging our life stories anymore, but Clare, Clare’s Mom and I will still be here—growing up one day at a time.

P.S. Anyone looking for more about me might also check out my (semi) professional website here.
