And… my blog site just passed 500.000 views! I started my first blog post on April 21, 2022, and the views have been increasing ever since. 🙂 I want to thank you all in this blog post and show you how much the site grew over time.
Why I write blog posts about PowerShell
I write blogs about PowerShell because I have read many other blog posts and forums, learned so much from them, and wanted to give back to others searching for answers to their PowerShell questions.
For me, PowerShell is still magic, so powerful compared to bat/cmd scripting, which I used to do a lot at my first few jobs before the first version of PowerShell was available.
How it all started
I started a small blog on Blogger.com in 2014 and posted a few things. I didn’t do that much with it, so I stopped doing that months later. Many years later, in April 2022, I started this site and wrote my first few posts. It began to grow a little, with more views almost each month:
More Site History
In a previous blog post, 250.000 visitors! , you can see more stats and things that happened along the way to this day in 2024. The most memorable was that I became a Microsoft PowerShell MVP in March 2024!
My Next Challenge
My next milestone is giving a session or talk at a conference. I know I can do this, but I have never done it before. I am checking my options and thinking about a subject, and perhaps I will do one with one of my former colleagues as an easy start before doing one alone. I will let you guys know 🙂
Thanks!
Thank you all for reading my blogs, posting comments and questions, and letting me learn things along the way! I am so happy with all the support, friends, and connections I have made during these years, and I will continue to write blogs and share my ideas!
