This is my 5501st blog post. Most of which aren't as pointless as this one.



My first blog post was on September 3, 2006.



I'm in my 14th year of blogging and in my 10th year writing the newspaper column (495 columns so far, as far as I can tell).



My slowest (full) blogging year was 2010 when I only posted 377 times. My bloggiest year was 2014 with 449 posts.



Last year saw 386 posts. I'm up to 51 posts for 2020 so far.



I really hate when I miss a day, or a few, even though it can't be avoided sometimes.



I currently post these blogs on [Blogger](http://blog.kentforliberty.com/), [WordPress](https://kentmcmanigal.wordpress.com/), [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/kentforliberty?fan_landing=true), and Steemit, and share them as links on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dullhawk) and [Quora](https://www.quora.com/profile/Kent-McManigal/answers).



This blog usually averages around 300 or so views per day according to Blogger, but that's probably not even close to accurate. I don't pay much attention to the numbers anymore, anyway. The numbers go way up when (I suspect) I'm getting fake views from spammers looking for sites to post on. And I've come to accept that I'm just a baby minnow in some tiny backwater of the internet.



My [KentForLiberty.com](https://kentforliberty.com/) site gets around 350 visitors per week.



I've been posting "outrageous" answers to Quora a lot recently, more for sport than anything. It helps me blow off steam and entertain myself, I've started sharing those answers on Twitter just to see if I can cause a reaction. Mostly, no, I can't.



Who knows if I've made a positive impact on the world. I'll [probably never know](https://mises.org/library/isaiahs-job). But I'll pretend I have. It makes me happy to imagine I *have* in some way.



Tomorrow I plan to have some actual content.

@dullhawk · 
The motivation comes and goes. But I write whether I feel motivated or not... most of the time.
As far as keeping it up-- I have ideas while I go about my business (the more mindless the task, the more ideas I have), and when I do I text them to myself so I won't forget. Then I go to the computer and flesh them out when I get the chance.
Seriously, when I first started to blog I thought I would run out of anything to say in a week or two. I guess I was wrong.
