Thanks for 1000(ish) comments!


Well.  I’d say this as good a milestone as any.

One of the things that I value most as a blogger (like anyone else, I’d bet) is getting comments on my posts.  Reaching the thousand-comment mark is proof that I’m doing something right here…though that’s kind of an off-number, considering that I’m responding to virtually every comment.  So technically, I’d wager I’m only at about five hundred comments and five hundred-ish responses.  Then again, the fact that I’m not just talking to myself here has to stand for something.

I can remember a time when I was posting junk with no response from anyone.  I think it was about two months into Cross-Up’s life before I got one comment -- from a guy by the name of DrButler, if I remember correctly (or at least someone using an Arthur avatar).  Nowadays there’s a verifiable stable of regulars that’ll pop in and give their thoughts…not to mention that even now I’m seeing new faces commenting on posts I’d frankly forgotten about, or assumed no one cared about.  Seriously, I got a comment on my Meet the Browns post earlier this month. 


In any case, let me be the first -- and last, I suppose -- to say thanks to all of you that have commented on my blog.  I’ll be sure to keep the content coming, so if you can spare the time, be sure to drop in every now and then.  There’s a pretty good chance you’ll find something you like…and I’ve got some nifty stuff planned for the near-future.

In the meantime, enjoy this semi-adorable picture I made.  Worthy of a wallpaper, yes?  (Well, almost.  Might have to tinker with the dimensions.)
