I just discovered that RadicalRuss.net is the 2,687,356th most visited site on the internet. Sigh. I’m not even in the top two-and-a-half million.
But it’s not the size of your readership that’s important, it’s the quality that matters (at least, that’s what us guys with small audiences like to believe). So to Adam, ytterby, Josh, Carl, Iva, and anyone else who’s reading the Writ, thank you. I’m not in it for the lure of blog celebrity; I do it because I have a pathological need to post my opinions for the world to see. Narcissus has nothing on me!
You may notice I’ve pulled the Google BlogAds from my right sidebar. Hey, when you’re #2,687,356, why bother advertising? Besides, the ads were usually ads for bumper stickers, and why should I provide links to my competition? You can still get my bumper stickers (and shirts and buttons etc.) by clicking the blinking ad over on your left.
