Wow. I just noticed my counter ticked past 50,000 hits today. Wow. I know, that doesn't sound like a whole lot when you compare me to most autodesk and cad management-geared blogs, but, heck, I think it's still pretty impressive for someone in a niche field like Facilities Management.
I started this blog as a communication tool for my Local User's Group (affiliated with AUGI), at the suggestion of then-president Brian Myers. It is much easier to keep up with than the monthly newsletter I used to make.
I started blogging in April of 2005, but, didn't add a counter until July of that year; so, 50,000 hits since then.
So, I make announcements for the gateway aug and augi, talk about the salary survey, facilities management and give tips and tricks on programs I use (from autocad, map, adt (aca), fmdesktop and microsoft office products)... and I like funny stuff, too.
Some of the searches I've noticed that are popular are 'Select Similar' 'AEC objects' 'Print plt files' 'cafm programs' 'bim standard' 'bim cafm' and 'mistress training'
~helpless shrug~ well, what can you do? It's an occupational hazard of being the Mistress of the Dorkness. ;)
My hit counter says that about 20% of my hits are repeat visitors, but, as that is based on ip-address, it's hard to say how accurate that is with the prevalence of wireless access points.
Thank you, faithful reader, for coming back time and again, I hope I manage to offer some good tips and timely news about the CAD/Design Industry.

50K mark? That's awesome. Our pageload is 10% of yours but we made USD20++ on Google Adsense clicks since our blog established. ;-) However, we envy your pageloads..hehe
Congratulations! You have a regular reader here....
:-) thanks for popping by. I like reading your blog, but, it doesn't surprise me there isn't a huge audience. We're a rare breed.
:-) Nice to see you made a little bit from AdSense, I've never bothered to do it for this site myself. ~shrug~
r.k., Thank you. :)
Woo Hoo Congratulations Melanie, you certainly have one of the best CAD blogs out there...
~blushing~ aw, blads, thanks for saying so, but, I'm sure that's not quite true.
You are like 5 time cooler than me, or dorkier.. I think. Anyway congrats on the numbers, it's like you have a gold record. To us geeks anyways.

Looking forward to the next 50,000
Todd,
*me*? five time dorkier than *you*
aw... you are so generous with your compliments! ;)
I think you and I are in the same sort of group... there's like two FM bloggers... and like two MEP bloggers. So, I wouldn't let the numbers get you down. (wait... I do MEP in my F, so that makes me both, right? so it would be 2FM and 3MEP? wot?)
I digress, thanks for the congrats.
;)
Congrats on that feat! Good things happen to good people. :-)
Thanks, Brian. Not much of a feat when you compare me to the more mainstream. But, I'm happy to know that people are reading. It's very cool.
