@Mike – Thank you Mike. I set the milestone very early on and stuck with it to challenge myself. I thought that if it meant harder to gain subscribers then, well, all the more challenge.

@Eli – Thanks! But you had your own leap the other day as well, with the traffic spiking and evening off at triple what it was before. So on to the next for both of us!

Congratulations, Hrafn! I’m feeling the pinch of sporadic posting as well, so I’m pleased to see that at least one of us has made it despite real life poking it’s nose into our blogging lives.

On to the next 300!

I like your blog. AI is not really the main focus of my blog but I have talked about it once and a while. 300 subscribers is a great milestone. I myself have just recently passed the 100 mark. I put up my feedburner statistic once I got to 120. I’m surprised you waited so long to mention your subscriber count. I usually consider anything above 100 as respectable and it usually attracts more subscribers when you display it.

Congrats on the 300 subscribers. Only the first 10,000 are hard to get; after that, it’s a breeze

Congratulations on your achievement and I wish far greater things happen for you. It would seem that the fiction you’re working on is destined to be a great and interesting read if you write it as well as this sites articles. Also be sure to remember that your personal matters are far more important than a multitude of posts.

Yeah, it’s gotten dreadful at times when I was tight on time, or inspiration, but really wanted to push that post to both stand promise to myself and readers. That’s something I’m sure many others of similar mindset go through. But as long as I keep evolving it pays off, me thinks.

Thanks Gnorb. (This. Is. Sparta.)

You make a lot of VERY great points about the progress one goes through when writing a blog and the challenges of keeping it on schedule. The fact that you’ve been able to keep things mostly off yourself and completely off your bodily functions (or malfunctions) and precipitation (or the lack thereof) is one of the things I’ve most admired.

I look forward to reading your science fiction, should you ever decide to share it (here or elsewhere).

And of course, most importantly for the purposes of this post, congratulations on the 300! You finally have enough people-power to keep Xerxes and the Persians from taking over your blog. Huzzah!
