This month marks five (5) years since I founded this blog. Time has certainly flown by!
Specifically, it started with the first post ("Welcome!") on April 23, 2008. It came about as AOL did away with the "free" web pages that came with their email accounts. Mine was "Armand's Corner of the Net."
Things worked out for the better as I prefer this format. There are more things that I can do with it than the single-page format of before. It is named after President Reagan's ranch near Santa Barbara, California, Rancho Del Cielo.
I decided to have this blog encompass a number of subjects instead of being just a "one-trick pony" that a number of blogs seem to be. The subjects are things that I am particularly interested in. The subjects include travel, history, entertainment, current events and politics. It is also a means to promote The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan. Covering more than one subject attracts a wider audience.
To date, this blog has over 638,000 page views (according to Blogger) since its inception. I added a counter about a month or so after the start of the blog. For some reason, it lags behind the count provided by Blogger.
It is constantly evolving. Features are added or removed. Color schemes are changed on occasion.
One gratifying thing, this blog is read by people from around the world in almost every continent. Apparently, I must be doing something right to attract the attention of people in faraway lands!
Thanks to all who stop by to read my "pearls of wisdom!"
