We’ve Crossed 1000 Subscribers!

I know, I know. Every time I announce a subscriber milestone, we drop below it the next day. I don’t care though, because Cleverdude.com finally passed the 1000 subscriber threshold yesterday (results are delayed by a day)!

If you’d like to join this group, you can subscribe via your favorite RSS reader, or receive new posts via email. You can easily unsubscribe if you get sick of me, but obviously 1000+ people haven’t tired of me yet! And I promise you that I will NEVER sell or give away any of your personal information.

Let’s check out this year’s historical subscriber data:

Wow! I only had a minuscule number of subscribers back in Dec/Jan, and then things really got going in late Feb/early March. You can see my numbers steadily increased from there. Those regular dips are weekends. Basically, Feedburner only tracks subscribers by the number of people who download your feed that day. People don’t browse the internet as much on weekends, hence the drop for most bloggers.

Let’s hope this trend continues!
