Being the numbers guy - at least in my household - I was curious to how many posts hit spfldbloggers.com. Below - Not bad. I believe these numbers go back to December 12th 2006, when I finished the RSS feed fetcher, and end tonight December 30th 2007 around 10pm. Wow, 298 dog posts for Gotshoo… ok not all Dog posts.

I usually posted about improvements about the site here. You can check them all out here.

In a way, I feel like there is some sort of ‘community’ for bloggers in Springfield. I hired Dave Heinzel as my photographer for my wedding and had him as teammate for trivia night, I’ve done computer work for Marie, and shared drinks with Russ, Dan, John and Micah, and spotted this guy in Panera. Hopefully 2008 I’ll get to share more drinks with more bloggers. WhereIsDave, I’ll buy you some Natty Light.

Well, I hoped everyone enjoyed the run because I am pulling the plug…. No, no, no, to say the least. I still have a bunch more stuff planned. I might even throw on a new design.

So the question for 2008 - What would you (you as in me, unless you work for free) do to change Spfldbloggers?

Ohh by the way, if you’re feeling bored some night do me a favor and click the ad on the side. I’ve made $14.10 since May. I’m a long way from becoming a dot com millionaire.

Also, I want to send credit and a thank you to Marie who originated the first Spfldbloggers list. She did a lot of the foot work in getting the ball rolling.

Babel Fish tells me it means “With badness towards hats red” which gives me no clue what in the heck it means other than recalling that Dan has a vendetta against the ladies in purple with red hats.

Well his badness has just released a new address (http://blogfreespringfield.com) and design on the Blog Free Springfield blog. Very rojo.

No puppy pictures, but a good way to kill an afternoon.

Remember my rant about the big blue store? Over at the Consumerist, they have a detailed list of the things to watch out for at the big red store.

Publish.

Marie has a very nice tutorial on how to keep up with all the different Springfield bloggers. A total of 69 different bloggers on the list.

She also gives me praise on including all the posts into one simple RSS feed on Spfldbloggers.com. Marie, I didn’t know you wanted this feature for so long; should’ve given me a nudge.

You can add the feed to your RSS reader by bookmarking http://spfldbloggers.com/feed.php.

Marie deservers a lot of credit in starting the first sense of online community by creating the original Springfield bloggers list. I remember being first linked up as if it was an archived blog post. I was super excited because I thought that the rest of Springfield just used the interweb to check email and pimp out their MySpace page. Seriously.

I’ll have to continue with a part two… (I just fell asleep at my desk)
