500 Posts: THANK YOU for your readership!

I just realized this blog has passed its 500th post mark yesterday! I was going to do something special last night but because of my dead BlackBerry fiasco, I wasn’t able to write anything. But I still want to commemorate this blog milestone by THANKING YOU, all my readers and bloggie friends who’ve made blogging so worthwhile and fun and something I look forward to every day! Also, special thanks to my loyal supporters and frequent contributors Ted, Vince, Becky and Mike! Do visit their contributors’ page accessible from the tab above.

Just a quick look back… since June 2009, we’ve gotten 255K hits and over 7,300 comments (keep ’em coming, peeps! :D). The busiest day of all time was November 2, 2009 with over 20,000 hits, thanks to this post being featured on IMDb hit list. The other top posts from 2009 and 2010 are compiled under the Features tab.

I’ll be taking a blogging break in the next two days, but no worries, there’ll be guest posts scheduled for both days. In fact, check back later this afternoon for the return of the Everyone’s a Critic review series that’s been on a long hiatus.

Well, what’s a celebration without a bit of singing and dancing, right? Not only is the title very fitting for the occasion, I also love this sequence from (500) Days of Summer (read my review).


Well, here’s hoping for 500+ posts and more movie chattin’ with all of you!

  1. Congrats on hitting 500! Quite the accomplishments, and major respect on those viewing numbers! If I had even one half that I’d be crying with joy :P.

    You definitely earned all the accolades you’ve received, flixchatter is a first morning stop for me 🙂

  2. Woohoo, 500 posts is an impressive achievement when you are basically the sole writer of this blog! I’m also jealous you got 20K hits on that article 😉 Congratulations Ruth!

  3. Thank you for the kind well-wishes, everyone! I’m honored that you visit my wee blog regularly. Sorry been tied up at work that I couldn’t thank you sooner. I still can’t believe it myself that I hit 500, I guess I never counted how many posts I’ve done.

    @ Castor… sheesh man, you probably get 20k hits on a daily basis anyway. It was by a stroke of luck that I hit that number and w/ the help of the motherlode that is IMDb 😀

    Oh and I’ve been getting a lot of help from my contributors, too, so I share this milestone with them!

  4. Congratulation Ruth!! 500 posts is a great achievement. The comments are incredible.

    Posting is so fun we often didn’t realize we have posted so many 😉

    Btw, I’m back on track. I have a poster on my blog…I edited the poster of one of your favorite animation movies 😉

  5. Oh well done Ruth!!

    For what it’s worth, you know I thought you were well past 500 already. With the amount of great content in each post, you probably have about 1500 posts worth of material. You’ve certainly put in the hours:)

    Congrats on a well deserved milestone!!!

    P.S. Making the IMDb Hit List is very nice distinction. Little a bona fide ticket to the big leagues…even if it is just for a day:P

    1. @ Marc – THANKS! Boy, that means a lot to me that you think I have great content… what a lovely thing to say.

      Yes, it’s great that the motherlode notices my wee blog… and to see the stats shoots up always puts a smile on my face 😀

      @ Nov – thank you! Yes, we bloggers often forget how productive we can be. I don’t know how long I can keep up w/ 5 posts a week though.
