Snooze Button Dreams has been alive for a month now. My first luniversary! In that month I've:

• Had over 1600 visits. (And this is according to Sitemeter, which supposedly underreports badly.)
• Found 7 new regular blogs through looking at my referrers and checking who is linking to me.
• Learned to use the div tag and CSS (My html editor of choice is notepad because that was close to the best you could get when last I coded.)
• Been linked to a minimum of 48 times.
• Been blogrolled (on Blogrolling, that is) 6 times.
• Started participating in 3 different weekly blog submission memes.
• Had a blast writing again. Something that I thought I'd lost many moons ago.

When I first started this weblog I set a couple of objectives. The first was that, no matter what, I would stick with it for at least a month. I made that goal with no problem. It's been much more entertaining than I had feared and far more successful than I could have hoped. Between 60 and 90 visits a day? I've never had an audience that large before. Well, I should clarify that - I've never had a voluntary audience that large before. It's quite an ego stoker and to me it means I'm doing something right. I'm writing well enough that people enjoy my writing. That is very cool.

The other objective was to reevaluate after said month of blogging and decide what the blog was about. This is a tough one. Looking back at the things I've posted I like a lot of it and dislike some of it. One thing that stands out is that the humorous posts are easier to reread. They were also more fun to write. I think I'm going to bend in this direction and try to concentrate on witticisms, commentary and anecdotes of a humorous nature.

So, look for SBD to continue. Look for more (SBD) posts and less political ones (not that there were a whole lot of those anyway). Don't look for me to move the blog for a while. I'd like to get off of Blogger but it's free and that's infinitely cheaper than paying (and I'm a cheap, cheap, cheap bastard).

Thank you all for your support!
