I just realized that I’ve been writing this blog for a whole year! I managed to miss the actual
\nanniversary, which was on thursday. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been doing it for a full year.
\nWhen I started Good Math\/Bad Math on Blogger, I honestly believed that I’d probably last a couple
\nof weeks; maybe a month at best. And I didn’t expect to find a lot of readers – my best guess was
\nthat I’d be lucky if I got a couple of dozen readers a day. After all – what I write about is math<\/em> – in particular, mostly extremely abstract math. Not exactly something that I expected a lot of people to be interested in.<\/p>\n

And now, a year later, I’m part of the ScienceBlogs community. I’ve posted close to 500 articles since the blog started, and I’m averaging 3,000 pageviews per day. Absolutely unbelievable!<\/p>\n

So I’d like to say thank you to all of you who’ve been reading and commenting. Writing GM\/BM has been more fun and more rewarding than I could have imagined, and that’s mainly due to all of you who read, comment, and send links. Thanks for reading, and thanks for letting my share my love and enthusiasm for math with all of you.<\/p>\n

I’d also like to say a particular thank you to my friend Orac. It was Respectful Insolence<\/a> that inspired me to start my own blog, and Orac was the first blog to link to GM\/BM, providing me with that first burst of readers that really got things rolling. So many, many thanks to you, Orac.<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping that I can keep this going for many more years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
