We're coming up on the 2nd anniversary of my tenure here at Book Dads. I got my yearly reminder of this when I received an invoice for another year of web hosting.
I've enjoyed managing the site and am proud of how much has been accomplished over the past 2 years including 443 posts (with well over 300 being apps and book reviews).
If you're into stats, we've done pretty well there as well:
2010 Book Dads Stats
Annual (from April on)
* 28,992 Pageviews
* 18,804 Unique Pageviews
Monthly
* 3,220 Pageviews
* 2,099 Unique Pageviews
2011 Book Dads Stats
Annual
* 86,669 Pageviews
* 55,489 Unique Pageviews
Monthly
* 7,222 Pageviews
* 4,624 Unique Pageviews
2012 Book Dads Stats
Monthly (through Jan. & Feb.)
* 6,537 pageviews
* 5,386 Unique Pageviews
For a good amount of time, I was averaging over 25-30 posts a month but that has dramatically gone down and has my life has gotten busier, my time available on the site has decreased and I'm lucky to get 10 posts up a month these days.
All that said basically hints at what's coming next but it will be a bit different than you might expect.
For one thing, I don't want to simply drop the site and walk away. Like I mentioned above, I just got an invoice to pay for another year of hosting. I intend to make that payment. And gladly as a matter of fact. The truth is while I don't have time to contribute like I used to, I'm hoping someone is and I'm willing to front the hosting fee. For one thing, we've built up quite a resource here at Book Dads. With over 300 reviews on the site, anybody visiting can find lots of great books to share with their kids and there's no reason for me to take that away at all.
But I am looking for a person or two or three who want to take on the site and do the bulk of the work posting reviews. I intend to catch up on all the reviews I haven't gotten to yet, so I'll be sticking around. I just can no longer handle the daily grind this site deserves and needs.
