Thanks again to all the readers of South Milwaukee Blog!

2012 was the biggest year yet for this website, with 92,944 page views — nearly twice as many as 2011 — recorded, including 12,541 in September, the single most popular month for the blog since I launched it in 2009. In fact, the blog’s seven most highly trafficked months all occurred in 2012.

Shepherd Express Honors South Milwaukee Blog

Since I launched it in October of 2009, and nearly 100,000 page views later, South Milwaukee Blog has been a labor of love.

Sometimes more labor than love, sometimes more love than labor, blogging is and will always remain a passion for me.

And while I certainly don’t do this to win awards, it is nice to see a third party (and others) recognize you for your work.

Such is the case with the Shepherd Express, which has named this blog one of two runners-up in the second-annual Best of Milwaukee Web Awards.

The category: Best Neighborhood Blog. The winner was Between the Bars, and joining this blog as runner-up was Cream City and Sugar.

See the story here.

Again, I don’t do this for pats on the back. But I’ll take it.

And ultimately none of this would be possible without you. Thank you for making South Milwaukee Blog what it has become — an online community gathering place that, with your help, will continue to thrive in the months and years to come.

Promising future, indeed.

A Banner Year For South Milwaukee Blog: Looking Back To 2011

Again, I’d like to thank everyone for reading South Milwaukee Blog.

It’s been a year of major growth for this blog, and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to check out the site, with a special thanks going out to my regular readers and subscribers.

All in, the blog logged about 44,000 page views in 2011, and it’s seen more than 71,000 since I launched it in October of 2009. The biggest single day for page views this year came on Nov. 2, with 488.

Of course, while I’d like to think that it’s my prose that keeps people coming back, I know news stories drive traffic to this blog. And 2011 was a big year, with the happenings in Madison, sale of Bucyrus and approval of Walmart among the stories dominating the headlines.

Here are the five most-viewed stories from 2011, according to this summary:

These were five of the more than 415 posts on this blog in 2011 … and I look forward to doing even more in 2011. Thanks again for your support, and please keep reading, commenting and spreading the word about South Milwaukee Blog. Happy new year!
