Reader Appreciation

Hi All,

I just wanted to do a quick post to show my appreciation of the people, such as yourself, who visit this blog. Whether this is your first visit or last visit, I hope you enjoy what you find. I enjoy sharing my photographs from around town (this blog should probably be called Portland Peninsula Daily Photo) and seeing your comments and how many people view my posts. Thanks also to the other sites and blogs that help to send readers my way.

As expected, traffic to this blog in 2010 increased from the previous two years. According to my trusty statcounter.com account, the blog itself had 45,995 unique 'unique visitors.' I expect that by the end of this year it will have over 100,000 total unique visitors from the past years combined. The blog currently has 71 'followers' via Google friend connect, and 389 feed subscribers per Feedburner.The facebook page has amassed 52 'likes' so far as well. I was also surprised/pleased by the number of 2011 calendars sold. In future plans, I plan on setting up some sort of photography-selling site someday soon based on the positive feedback to the calendar.

There are a billion websites out there, so it means a lot to me that so many people make a point to visit mine. We all live busy lives and face countless choices in real life and in the blogs we visit, so thanks!

  2. Oh, Lordy, it's our pleasure! I confess I came across one of your shots via Google Images months before I moved to Portland from DC. What do I owe you for making it my transition screen saver?

  3. Portland is one of my favorite cities - and being in New Hammpshire - it is just a short distance away...I rely on your photos for places to visit and see while there!

  11. I live on Gray St., and I walk everywhere, so I am always expecting to see myself in your photos. Sometimes on my walks, I'll see someting interesting and think "I wonder if Corey is taking a picture of that building, bird, shadow, etc at this very moment!" You have a unique eye and distinctive sensibility. Thanks for sharing your work!
