Below The Beltway Hits 1M Visits

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Blogging

I don’t usually write about blogging milestones but Doug is a friend and a contributor so a hearty “Well done!” is in order.

Don’t think 1,000,000 is a big deall? Well, let me tell you…

Creating and maintaining sites like BTB takes a hell of a lot of commitment. Because between reading all the day’s news, posting multiples pieces of content, responding to comments, moderating comments, checking your server and arguing with guys like me over on Twitter, it’s nearly a full time job in and of itself.

Seriously. I know I put in at least 30 hours a week running Donklephant and I have help with creating content. Doug is solo over at BTB so it makes it all the more impressive that he’s able to pump out more content than we do everyday.

So here’s to you Mr. Mataconis. Continued success and may your next 1,000,000 come twice as fast as your first.
