Milestones and gratitude
At some point earlier this morning we hit our 2,000,000th visit since I put the SiteMeter up in mid-March 2004. Since I only had around 100,000 visitors in the first year, 95% of that traffic has come over about 30 months, or around 900 days. The notional 2,000,000th visitor came this morning in a link from Glenn Reynolds, which is fitting insofar as he has directly or indirectly driven a great deal of traffic here since his first link to TigerHawk in December 2004.
Thank you to our very loyal readers and smart commenters, Glenn, the Power Line trio, Wretchard, Andy McCarthy and my other friends at the Corner, Charles, Roger and Pajamas Media, Cassandra, Fausta, Jules, and the other supportive bloggers who have done so much to make blogging so much fun. None of this would have been possible without you, or the support of my family (especially Mrs. TigerHawk) and friends who shoulder the day-to-day burden of my hobby (to which I reply, "at least I don't golf").
So here's to millions more!

Cool. Congratulations, TH. Big "group hug" to everyone. (Who says non-"progressives" don't emote?)

Congratulations TH! Don't stop blogging - I find that your blog is a rare place where an ivory tower dweller like myself can engage with what serious conservatives are actually thinking. Even if I don't always agree, I find that my perspectives have been greatly broadened by the experience.

That first million came at the end of July last year, if memory serves. Strength to strength!

Ditto.
Hard to believe so much time has passed since March of 2004. I remember when this was just a quiet little place!
I thought back then that you were underrated and I still think so. Glad to see you getting the attention you deserve.
Long live the Cycle of Violence :p

Kudos to you Sticks!
The good doctor sends her regards as well.
The best commentary and analysis is in places like yours now.
Even with Friedman now free, he's still over-priced.

Congratulations on the milestone. I'm glad to see from the bitmap you posted that you use Firefox. Well done, young TigerHawk.
