			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Wow. So, something was just pointed out to me. <strong>It was officially one year ago today, that &#8220;Burgo&#8217;s Blog&#8221; was born. </strong>Not on this domain, of course&#8230; it&#8217;s only had it&#8217;s own domain for just over half a year, by now. But, before that, it started it&#8217;s life hosted on WordPress.com as a free subdomain.<br />
It&#8217;s been a great ride since a rather inauspicious start, with the first post being (so help me) &#8220;<a href="http://www.burgoblog.com/2007/09/18/just-a-quick-thought-on-the-rrs-vs-god-squad-debate/">Just a quick thought on the “RRS vs God Squad” debate</a></font><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">&#8220;.</p>
<p></font></p>
<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">In the time since that first post, <strong>145 other posts have been written, 211 comments have been left</strong>, and &#8211; according to Google Analytics (which unfortunately I only installed at the end of November, so I&#8217;m missing a few months worth of figures) &#8211; <strong>just over 25,000 unique visitors have stopped by Burgo&#8217;s Blog, with around about 40,000 pageviews</strong>; with the most popular post being &#8220;<a href="http://www.burgoblog.com/2007/12/07/30-south-african-bands-you-need-to-hear/">30 South African Bands you NEED to hear!</a>&#8220;, with just over 4,000 pageviews.<br />
<strong>Yeah, ok&#8230; so I&#8217;m no <em>Stereogum </em>or <em>Pitchfork </em>in terms of visitors (although, after <a href="http://www.theairbornetoxicevent.com/news/an-open-letter-to-pitchfork-media-from-the-airborne-toxic-event.html" target="_blank">this</a>, I&#8217;m kinda glad I&#8217;m not Pitchfork at the moment; good on you Airborne Toxic Event for saying what most of us have been thinking for a while about their reviews), but I like to think that people are hearing what I&#8217;m saying, you know?</strong> I mean, really this blog has always been about exposing readers to new music&#8230; if it wasn&#8217;t for the readers, and the community you guys have formed here, there wouldn&#8217;t be much heart left in Burgo&#8217;s Blog.</p>
<p></font></p>
<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">So, I guess this is a &#8220;Happy 1st Birthday&#8221; post to not only Burgo&#8217;s Blog, but also to all you readers. <strong>Here&#8217;s hoping to many more to come.</p>
