Blog for Iowa is 11 Months Old!Well, it’s time for an ol’ Blog for Iowa update. Why wait until April 1st, our one-year anniversary, when we just had our biggest month ever? In February, we averaged 1200 distinct hosts served per day – that means individual readers or, actually, individual computers hitting our site. We also averaged 2050 page views per day in February, for our biggest month ever in page views – 57,446!
Yes, dear readers, February 2005 is Blog for Iowa’s Babe Ruth! Ever after, any other month that beats February will have an asterisk behind its name, indicating that the record was broken in a month with EXTRA DAYS.
And speaking of Roger Maris ;-) , if it is really necessary after all this time to keep an asterisk after his name in the record books, then I would like to suggest one other amendment to the record books. I’m thinking that if a record such as Maris’ must carry an asterisk because he broke the Babe’s 1927 homerun record in a season, 1961, that had three extra playing days, then we should gladly add an ASS behind the name of every homerun record breaker since (and including) Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. The ASS, of course, would stand for Anabolic Steroid Suspect. Hey, fair is fair. But I digress. . . .
My thanks to the blog team, without whom this site would not be up and running for you to read.
