Be My Valentine: 300K Lifetime Blog Views

I noticed the day after Valentine’s Day that Collecting Postcards had just marked 300,000 lifetime views!

Just two months shy of the blog’s tenth anniversary, almost 105,000 visitors have visited its 346 posts and five pages over 300,000 times. How incredible to see the sustained dedication and effort I’ve invested in writing matched by interest and curiosity about this career and lifestyle from readers over such a long period of time. I continue to be surprised and appreciative.

I will probably celebrate the 10-year milestone in April with a “lifetime blog stats” roundup, just for fun. I do this every new year, but it would be cool to look at a decade of data and analyze the most popular-ever posts, the highest-ever page views in one day, and things like that.

In the meantime, my most sincere thanks for 300K views!
