Eagan Daily Photo - 1st anniversary

On May 7, 2009, I began a fun journey as the Eagan Daily Photo blogger among the hundreds of other City Daily Photo bloggers around the world. Thank you everyone for your support, humor, comments, suggestions and photographic ideas. It's amazing to communicate with many friends, family and new CDP blogger friends in Berlin, Jaipur, Aurora, Drammen, Barcelona, St. Paul, Tallahassee, Athens, Roskilde, San Francisco, Mainz, Haninge, Paris, Verona, Monte Carlo, New York City, London, Manila, Lisbon, Rome , Moscow, Stuttgart, Melbourne, Bangalore, Belgrade, Stavanger, Jeddah, Livorno, Jerusalem, Montpelier and several other places! I posted every single day without missing a day.
Here are some of my blog statistics after one year:
3 blog awards
124 foreign visitor flags
163 followers
371 total postings in 1 year
2,860 = most visits in a month > January 2010
25,875 total visits
My family and I celebrated with a chocolate, rasberry, chocolate chip ice cream pie!

Concratulations upon this achievement. Having started this "adventure" of a Daily blog about half a year ago, forces me to bow deep in respect of those figures above.
In my opinion, it is the charme of this site, being able to provide a view of a city and its life, one would not be able to see else. Very well done. Wishing you many a years to come.

A big achievement, Leif well done and thanks so much for being such a faithful follower of my blogs. Have a great day and save a piece of that great looking cake for me! Here's to the next 12 months of Eagan Daily Photo!

Bruce Caspersonn said...

It's only because you do such interesting stuff, well done.

Kate said...

Well, congratulations; it's an accomplishment. I'm afraid I go through cycles myself; haven't been on a photo shoot for awhile so it's about time. I've been posting since 2006, and sometimes (like now) I'm getting a bit tired. You're a great inspiration; need some of your enthusiasm.

Kaori said...

Wow congratulations! Posting everyday can be quite difficult, but you made it! Hope to see more of Eagan through your blog ;D

Mirage said...

Congratulations!!! More to see the coming years!
