It was really a very interesting moment for me when I was writing my 1600th milestone blog post. Now it`s a lot more exciting because this time it`s my 1600th blog post. Every time I write a milestone blog post such as this, I have the same excitement as when I was writing my very first blog post. Today I want to write about a few statistics of the blog.
Statistics
I am frequently asked about my blog stats, so I have already published my blog stats which are measured by WordPress.com. Currently, I have more than 22 Million+ Views on this blog from various sources. There are more than 6200+ feed subscribers in Google Reader only; I think I don`t have to count all other subscribers. My LinkedIn has 1250+ connection, while my Twitter has 2150+. Because I feel that I`m well connected with the Community, I am very thankful to you, my readers.
Today I also want to say Thank You to those experts who have helped me to improve. I have maintained a list of all the articles I have written. If you go to my first articles, you will notice that they were a little different from the articles I am writing today. The reason for this is simple: I have two kinds of people helping me write all the better: readers and experts.
To my Readers
You read the articles and gave me feedback about what was right or wrong, what you liked or disliked. Quite often, you were helpful in writing guest posts, and I also recognize how you were a bit brutal in criticizing some articles, making me re-write them. Because of you, I was able to write better blog posts.
To Experts
You read the articles and helped me improve. I get inspiration from you and learned a lot from you. Just like everybody, I am a guy who is trying to learn. There are times when I had vague understanding of some subjects, and you did not hesitate to help me.
Number of Posts
Many ask me if the number of posts is important to me. My answer is YES. Actually, it`s just not about the number of my posts; it is about my blog, my routine, my learning experience and my journey.
During the last four years, I have decided that I would be learning one thing a day. This blog has helped me accomplish this goal because in here I have been able to keep my notes and bookmarks. Whatever I learn or experience, I blog and share it with the Community. For me, the blog post number is more than just a number: it`s a summary of my experiences and memories.
Once again, thanks for reading and supporting my blog!

Uhm… Wouldn’t it be interesting if you can track the geolocation of your readers? I have no idea about how that can be done, so I’m providing just the idea… :-)

It just happens that this is the first post since I followed this blog up via RSS.

I remember the day when I first saw this blog while searching in google engine some time in mid of 2008, from that day I follow your blog, its like a routine work that I have to do every day, failing to do so makes me feel I am missing something interesting.
Great Stuff, Really helpful. You make it easy, no matter how tough the topic appears to be.
Great Effort Pinal.
I still have the same question, that I had 2 years back, I still can;t understand how can you manage your time to write articles on your blog (EVERYDAY).
