My turn for a post count

October 18th, 2008 | 22 Comments

Following the lead among my local blogger friends Saige, Heather, and Josh, all of whose blogs have around 200 posts, I decided to reckon my own post count.

Now, mind, I started blogging on a blog called Don’t Dream It’s Over in March 2006. Note for anyone clicking on those links: it’s a part of the blog system for a site called Planet Preterist, where my user name has always been “Ransom” (I am still proud of the blog’s tagline: “Where Ransom goes to rant some”). Also, a visitor to that site and this one would notice some quite similar blog posts, due in part to the fact that I imported a number of DDIO posts to Undeception (originally hosted at wordpress.com) when I started the latter, and in part to the fact that since starting Undeception I have cross-posted a couple newer posts for the attention of those at Planet Preterist.

Anyway, I realized today that I started Undeception in September a year ago, so I missed my 1 year anniversary last month. Because there has been continuity between DDIO, the wordpress.com version of Undeception, and the current Undeception, I have been blogging for two and a half years. This means that apart from Kev (with probably about 3,000 posts by now) I am the first blogger in our local group of blogging friends. So why, including this post, do I only have 140 posts? What da heck?

    140 is a very good number, Steve. Be proud.

    No, we can’t all be Kev.

    Patrick,
    True – a situation that I hope will be remedied soon. :)

    Heather,
    Secret blogs don’t count. :P

    What month did your start your other one? Cause if it makes you feel any better, I started blogging in July 2006, so that’s sort of 2 1/2 years ago. And before my whole world fell apart, and then had a little monkey a few months later, I was blogging fairly regularly. And a lot of mine consist of like, 6 paragraphs less than one of yours, so… ; ) 140 is great!

    Thanks, Saige – if you’ve noticed this past week, I’ve held back on major theological treatises ( ::eye roll:: ) and put in a few not-so-monumental ones. And I liked it.

    Heather,
    Very well then, boring blogs don’t count either. ;) Oh, and by the way, the universe has a huge hole in it that can only be filled by a blog authored by your DH. You tell him that.

    Actually, if you consider the average length of all your 140 posts, they probably equal about 3,000 “normal” posts.

    I agree with Angi about your “real” blog count. As for DH, he says that any blog he would write would be interesting only to himself.

    Steve,
    140 is 7 (the number of perfection) times 10 (the number of completeness) times two (the number it takes to tango). Thus, 140 posts means that you are completely perfect when it comes to dancing the tango.

    Am I right?
