HCBS IS A YEAR OLD

I inflicted my first post on an unsuspecting world on February 7, 2007. It received a whopping 41 page views. Counting only those readers who were not my friends or relatives, it may have racked up a dozen reads.

That didn’t bother me, however, because I was so clueless about blogging that I didn’t know how to access my stats.  When I finally unraveled that mystery, I learned that HCBS had averaged 33 visits per day during that first month.

A year later, HCBS averages a little more than 1,000 visits and 3,000 page reads per day. That’s still pretty modest, of course.  But, considering that I’ve been too lazy to properly promote the blog, I’m not unhappy with it. 

At any rate, I’m having a big time with HCBS and I want to thank everyone who drops by for entertainment, information, or just to tell me I’m full of BS.

    Congrats and Happy Birthday!

    I try and access every day. I find that you’re a terrific aggregator for socialized medicine news, and I frequently send colleagues emails with the information you ferret out.

    Thanks, very much

    Congratulations, nice work. Despite the fact we appear to be polar opposites on the health care debate, I place great value in the tensions of opposing views moving all of us to a more equitable middle ground.

    Dave, Congratulations on your first year and the growth of Health Care BS. I discovered the blog about a month after its inception as I was searching the keywords “socialized medicine.” It’s been a must read for me ever since.

    Congrats David. I have enjoyed this site since I found it about 6 months ago during the Sicko discussions.

    Well done, but you do need to accept more constructive critical posts and acknowledge that comments maketh a blog…

    I think your blog serves a vital purpose. I can’t tell you how helpful it is to have a single repository of every ridiculous idea being floated by those opposed to health care reform.

    LOL. Your comments serve a vital purpose, Spike, that of keeping me in stitches.
