18,000th Post!


On November 13, 2001, I started this humble website with a simple purpose, to find and highlight business opportunities that weren’t junk. Today marks the 18,000 post and begins to countdown to our 9th anniversary on November 13th.
To say that I couldn’t have done this without the support of my readers is a cliche, but it is absolutely true. Without all of you, I would have given up on this a long, long time ago.
The site also wouldn’t be where it it today without Rich Whittle and Angela Shupe. Rich has been with me since 2006 and Angela from 2007. Both of them have had an enormous impact on the growth and development of the site in the last few years.
Over the next two weeks we’ll be pointing out some of our favorite posts from the past, telling stories of great consequence in the development of the site and launching some exciting new services and features.
Thank you for reading,
Dane Carlson

In the original version of this post I said that this was our 19,000th post, not our 18,000th. Oops.
I think that this might have been my 19,000th error! :)

Hi Dane. It’s a dream for any blogger to last so long (9 years is amazing) and have written 18,000 posts that get regular feedback from readers. Keep it up!
