2 years of blogging

Today the blog is 2 years old!!

2 years of blogging

A lot of funny things happened during this year… Google slapped me down from PR7 to PR4, then the site was hacked a dozen times and marked by Google as an harmful site.

Now, it’s PR5, recognized as an authority by Google and I am the most famous Emanuele in the world!

The number of posts raised from 77 to 264, the number of comments from 1,093 to 4862

Alexa rank went from 158,059 to 65,147, and the blog had over 1,000,000 visitors

What an amazing year!

Well, next one will be better!! I have so many plans…

    Wow, never even knew how long the blog has been up, heh. Grats on the successes, I’ve learned quite a bit on this site watching your experiments, interviews and articles form other developers, and of course the tutorial series. Some really neat stuff you’ve revealed to us, and I can only imagine what you have in store for the coming year(s). :)
