Huckleberries Online

Wild Card/Satuday — 11/10/07

Huckleberries Online should reach its 2 millionth page-view this year by my 58th birthday in 10 days. This blog is sitting at 1.935M as I write this early Saturday morning. I've received about 90,000 hits in the first 9 days of the month. Then, it has been an unusual 9 days, beginning with Black Thursday, the day of the layoffs and carrying through the municipal elections. Things should settle down next week, although the blog has experienced one of its occasional upticks. Mebbe folks who tuned in here for the first time for the elections have stuck around. We'll see. I've been happy with the main threads this week. I've tapped new sources to keep things interesting here. It'll be interesting to see where Taryn Hecker takes her blog. It'll also be interesting to see what the downtown office has in mind for Huckleberries Online once things settle down in Spokane. Meanwhile, you can play this Wild Card to start your own threads ...
