13-Year Blogversary Post

13 years ago today, I took a dive into the world of blogging.

And even though the landscape of blogging in general has changed and so hasn't mine when it comes to blogging, here I am still chugging away with new posts.

I didn't do a lot of posts in Year 12 of this blog as I technically retired it last year, but just like Brett Favre I just couldn't stay away. I needed to come back for more and will probably stay on for more in Year 14? Will there be more in Year 14 than it was in Year 13? I will have to see how much time I have.

So, as with every passing year on here, let's take a look at the blog numbers from last year and previous years.

Year One, Sport Card Collectors blog had 68,169 overall views. 695 Twitter Followers and 118 Facebook LIKES.

Year Two, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 205,240 overall views, 2,206 Followers on Twitter and 147 Facebook LIKES.

Year Three, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 340,841 overall views, 3,576 Followers on Twitter and 159 Facebook LIKES.

Year Four, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 483,217 overall views, 4,494 Followers on Twitter and 431 Facebook LIKES.

Year Five, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 679,331 overall views. 5,325 Twitter Followers and 541 Facebook LIKES.

Year Six, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 952,540 overall views. 6,272 Twitter Followers and 627 Facebook LIKES.

Year Seven, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 1,268,414 overall views. 7,120 Twitter Followers and 815 Facebook LIKES.

Year Eight, Sport Card Collectors blog grew to 1,595,972 overall views. 8,353 Twitter Followers and 1291 Facebook LIKES before I ended the page. 

Year Nine, Matt's Wonderful Blog Of Hobbies grew to 1,814,262 overall views.  9,763 Twitter Followers and 780 Instagram Followers

Year Ten, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,029,117 overall views.  10.9K Twitter Followers, 1427 Facebook LIkes and 1095 Instagram Followers

Year Eleven, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,611,826 overall views.  13.2K Twitter Followers, 1500 Facebook LIkes, 1600 followers, and 1119 Instagram Followers

Year Twelve, Sport Card Collectors grew to 2,913,153 overall views.  13.6K Twitter Followers, 1500 Facebook Likes, 1600 followers, Blusky has 291 followers and 1087 Instagram Followers (lost a few)

Not as much growth last year, but that's expected with the lack of posts. However, I am still on the track to hit 3 million views which would make for a really cool milestone.

In comments, let me know if you would like to see more new posts on this blog. This may sound like a silly question, but I am being serious. 

Hope everyone has a great day and once again, thanks for coming by to read.
