Today is the eighth birthday of this blog. It was eight years ago I started blogging as a means to  spread knowledge, information, tutorials, promote other resources and bloggers, provide examples of run-on sentences and improper usage of commas as well as share my warped sense of humor.

Last year Bill Adams made a 7th birthday cake so this year I decided to make my computer and the blog into the cake by frosting it and lighting a candle on it.

Since that day and my first blog posting back in 2003, millions of unique readers have visited this blog and content.

2269 posts
3324 comments

About 100,000 readers average a month viewing the blog by browser and about 20,000 daily average subscribers to the RSS feeds.

Top browser is still Internet Explorer, but only in the 30% range now with Firefox neck and neck, The percentage of mobile device views is skyrocketing as is the number of readers using a Mac.

UPDATE
Bill Adams did a cake last year and mentioned in this posts comments that he also did one this year to celebrate this blogs birthday. I only wish I was not 7700 miles away from Bill to thank him in person as well as have some awesome cake.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone for reading Between the Lines and contributing over the years. If there is something I can do to improve or make your experience more entertaining or educational please let me know with an email.

Thank you,
Shaan
