Coming along

The Bluegrass Ireland Blog has now been operating for just over three years. After the first year, we began to get curious about how many people actually saw the BIB, and on 1 April 2007 a site meter ('hit counter') was installed. By 1 April 2008 it had recorded 19,500 visits. Some time today, the total reached 39,000; so in just over eight months the BIB has had as many visits as in the previous twelve.

This still puts it a long way behind such excellent sites as UKBluegrass.com, not to mention the one and only original Bluegrass Blog (which won the IBMA Print Media Award 2007). But the scene here is not doing badly, and we're glad to be a part of it. Thanks to everyone who has helped the BIB get this far!
