Another milestone to celebrate on the site, last month another one of my posts reached over 1,000 views.
From my series of posts Minor Roles That Had A Major Impact published in 2017, this one centred around the Learner Driver named Stephanie caught up in a movie car chase in the comedy The Naked Gun who rises to the occasion.
A classic example of a minor character having a huge effect on the plot and just making an impact in terms of the quality of the performance.
And now some stats for the sake of those who love stats. The post was originally published 17MAR2017 and closed out 2017 as the 8th most popular post on my blog from 2017 with 89 views. It currently sits at 1,051 views having reached 1,000 views on the 22nd of January this year. The most popular month so far was September 2018 where it accumulated 101 views, the only time thus far it has reached triple digits in a month. That month had a daily average of 3 views. Most days there is at least one view on average. It currently has 16 likes from my fellow bloggers.
I don’t know if these posts appear silly, self-congratulatory or just embarrassing. But I never thought so many people might read any of my post when I started blogging five years ago let alone 1,000 so whenever it happens it feels like something worth noting. I hope you enjoy.

It would be nice to think that Winifred was at least one of those 1,000 views. It would be even better if she left you a comment.
As far as I know she’s still very busy as a jobbing actor. You’re right though, it would be nice.
No, your posts don’t appear “silly, self-congratulatory or just embarrassing.” There is no point in writing unless you have the self confidence or self belief to think that what you are producing is of a good standard.
I bet you’re the best writer in your house. How about the best in your street ? Or the best in your neighbourhood? Try extending the area bit by bit and just see how far you get!
Actually my wife is the better writer. Thanks John, definitely can tell you’re a former teacher. 🙂
You have done really well with those posts, Lloyd.
They definitely ‘caught a mood’, and found a ready readership.
Well done!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete and thank you for your continued support.
Nice going, Lloyd.
Thanks Don, how was your Christmas? How’s the family?
Nice holidays and family is fine. Thanks for asking. How about you? Have those fires affected you personally?
No I’m very fortunate but so many people have affected. The nation has really pulled together in support. Only good thing about a crisis.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing well and had a good Christmas with family and friends.
