Before I joined Facebook, before Twitter existed, there was WordPress. In 17 years I have put up 2,025 posts, logged 2,593 comments and as of Friday evening have 800,558 views. (If you included stats from My Other Blog, which preceded The Master’s Table by a couple of months, that adds another 465,835 views). Blogging is not what it used to be; in 2012 I had over 124,000 just that year alone. Like I say, Facebook and YouTube were relatively new and there was no Twitter, FB Reels, TikTok or Instagram yet. People were so bored they read stuff that I wrote!
