The road to 500

Hello.

I'm approaching a landmark number here on Especiallyevey.blogspot.com. Post # 500 is a mere 11 posts away.

Being a comic book collector, I have to make a big deal out of these landmark numbers. So, humor me.

I've got some big plans to ring in post # 500... including:

• Selecting (with your help) the top photo I've run here
• Selecting (with your help) the best blog post in these first 5-hundy posts
• Some honest-to-goodness reader feedback (with your help, obviously)
• A $500 giveaway (that's just a flat-out lie)

I'll start the festivities soon, be on the lookout. I estimate that post 500 will be here in two to three weeks. So, get ready. Sometime after St. Patty's Day. (Unless I find myself in another fantasy football championship, then I'll be at post 525 by week's end.)

What can you do now? Easy... I want to get your feedback. This may seem like a blatant form of self-promotion, but I promise you, it's simply a blatant form of self-promotion.

So, if you're a regular, semi-regular, or even occasional reader of this blog, I'd like to ask you to please email me at sjones@gcsaa.org and give me a short soundbite on one of the following:

1. What do you like about this blog?
2. What surprises you about this blog?
3. What do you dislike about this blog?
4. Do you have a favorite moment from this blog?
5. How often do you feel compelled to visit this blog?
6. Just basic well wishes on 500 posts;

Just a little snippet, nothing too involved. Don't answer all six, that sounds like work. Unless you want to. We'd enjoy hearing from you, I promise you that.

If no one answers, I'll make up fake comments from real people and just go with it. Who knew Barack Obama was a reader?

So, let's start the countdown. 500 posts. Too much time on my hands, apparently...
