Six years of SplaTT’s Blog
Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Blogging; Personal .
Aside from the varied number of things that have happened on the 23rd of March over the years, the 23rd of March 2003 marks the day of the first and very simple blog post which started an odd collection of random ramblings that is known as “SplaTT’s Blog” :)
I’ve gone through stages of posting a lot and then posting hardly anything for ages, but keeping this blog has been a great experience and has been instrumental in meeting some amazing people (many of which have become good friends over the years) and also led to being involved in some great projects.
Anyway…below is a small snippet of data from the site usage stats.

NOTE: 2003 only had data from the 23rd of March 2003 till the end of the year, 2007 only had posts made between the 1st of January 2007 and the 4th of October 2007, 2008 only had posts from the 26th of Febraury 2008 till the end of the year, and 2009 only has data up to today (23rd of March 2009)
While the stats for SplaTT’s Blog declined during 2008, i have started a number of other websites and blogs covering more specific areas that have taken a bit of my time…that’s my excuse ;)
It certainly doesn’t feel like six years has passed since i started the blog and i hope the next six years will be just as interesting as the first six years have been for me. And for those of you that have read my ramblings during that time i hope you have enjoyed them and will stick around for another six years :)
