For those of you who followed along from the beginning, you may remember how excited I was about my 100th post, then you may remember when I hit 1,000 visitors.  Now there’s something new to be excited about.  I’ve just passed 10,000 unique visitors to OwensDomain!  How incredible!  I put together a video to thank you and to give you a little preview of what’s to come.

Hello everyone and welcome to the new OwensDomain.com.  If you’ve been here before you’ll notice it looks a lot different around here.  I’ve cleaned things up a bit, mercilessly deleting posts that weren’t getting traffic (nearly 200), and now OwensDomain is what you see before you.  That’s something I wanted to surprise everyone with.

Back in 2007 I started this site as a place where I could keep my family updated.  Then in 2008 I changed it a bit to be more of a true “blog”.  I started writing posts about what I was into, started freelance writing as well which brought a few more people to the site.  That led to 1,000 unique visitors in March of 2008.  Now almost a year later, I’ve hit 10,000 unique visitors to my site!  10,000!  That’s mind blowing.  Most of the people were probably referred by the people you see behind me in the pictures (sorry about those who aren’t pictured, I couldn’t find all the pictures I wanted when I shot the video).

I want to think each and every one of you for coming out to the site and reading all of my new posts.  It is fantastic.  I love to be able to give someone a tip that may help them out or make their life just a little bit better, maybe show you something cool to use because that’s what I like sharing.  That’s what the new site is about, it’s about sharing.

I got engaged recently and Jenny and I have different interests and views on things.  Thats what we like and that’s what brings us together, being able to share these things with each other.  We want to now share these passions and these loves with you and hopefully you’ll become passionate about them too. Follow along with us, and I think it will be a great success.

There are going to be a lot of new features coming.  One of which you’ll see right here, video.  Call it a video blog, call it a vlog or whatever you want.  Video is something i love doing, I have all of the equipment to pull it off, so why not?  Starting with this post right now and every post you see from here on out, there will be a video.  It should be a little more exciting, a little more engaging.  We’ll see where it takes us.  I’m excited for the possibilities.

So thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, 10,000 unique visitors is a real accomplishment for me and I couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to 10,000 more!  See what posts have driven most of the traffic in our Top Posts section.
