2022 Update

What I've been up to and how this blog has been doing since 2020.

Wow. It’s been almost 2 years since my last post here! What a crazy period of time we’ve been through…

I’m still around

I’m making this short post to let you know that

  • I’m alive
  • I still check in on my blog from time to time!

In fact, earlier today I finally shipped a weekend project I’ve been hacking on for this site: Table of Contents! If you’re on desktop, you should be able to see it on the right ➡️ (sorry mobile users).

Year Two Goals Check-In

Back in February 2020, I posted a recap of my first year of blogging and set some goals for Year Two that basically simplify to:

  • Grow organic traffic
  • Increase pageviews but also subscribers
  • Write more posts with co-authors

Unsurprisingly, I did not hit those goals. I haven’t been spending nearly as much time on this blog as I used to, and that’s okay!

I won’t be setting more goals for this blog for the foreseeable future, but I do hope to continue improving it and posting new content from time to time.

Data Check-In

In my aforementioned Year One Recap, I also included some data around how the blog was doing. I’m not going to put that much effort in this time, but here’s a super quick data update:

Hooray for surpassing 1 million pageviews! 🎉
