The Miniatures Man 2 years and 50


A couple of weeks ago The Miniatures Man-site celebrated its second birthday, and I was fully occupied with other stuff at the time. But life is back in old rut now, and it is time to celebrate.
Let’s check the two years
Hits: close to 28 000 in total (6500 after the first year)
Followers: 63 (32)
Articles: 181 (92)

Most popular articles all time:
German infantry guns, WWII – my fist blog post!

Most viewers from US, followed by UK, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Spain, Australia, Canada, France and Italy – essentially unchanged from the first year.
A good year, with steadily climbing view-rates and more and more people finding the site. I still feel it’s fun to do this, but I will probably change some concepts a bit. For one thing - probably shorter book-reviews, but on more of the miniatures-related and history books I read.

Another jubilee happened last week, namely the Miniatures Man himself turned 50.
I fled the country, with its snow and ice, to a warmer place in the sun. Had a nice trip with the family, looked at the local Canarian flora and fauna and had a great, if miniatures-free, time.
Now it’s time du remove the dust from the neglected painting table and get some modelling done.

Welcome follower number 64, Lost Legion Miniatures with a blog with the same name. A nice blog about this and that in modelling.
