On this 31st of May, EverybodyGoTo.com, your favorite blog, will be celebrating 2 years online.

What started out as a small review site for me, in an experiment to try and make some money online, has turned into 1000 posts, this is post 1001 btw, covering a large variety of topics.

Here are some points to provide a little synopsis of what 2 years of blogging looks like -

1 – Times my blog has crashed due to the “digg effect”

120,000 – Visitors in my best traffic month {Oct 2007}

4 – Theme changes

69,000 – Spam comments blocked

4.7 months – It would have taken me to delete all those spam comments, @ 3 seconds per comment, if I did not have Akismet.

3 – Number of personal projects that I’ve launched as a result of starting this blog

Priceless – The number of new connections I’ve made via this blog
