Applied Mythology at 100,000 All Time Pageviews

Posted on 1:44 PM by jumba
I started posting on this blog 3 years ago this month.  I had been frustrated with all the disinformation out there about agriculture, farmers, and about the technologies they employ to keep the world fed.  As of today (5/25/13) the site had its 100,000th view.  I just want to take the chance to thank some of the folks that have encouraged me along the way:

  • My lovely wife who is my much-needed editor
  • My various readers
  • Friends in the ag-defense community who have provided links, tweets and mentions
  • Grower groups that have responded with speaking invitations
  • Scientists who have provided feedback to make sure I get that part right
  • All the folks who have taken the time to comment (all 576 of you), even those who disagree with my point of view
  • Those who have sent me email responses
  • The good folks over at Biofortified who let me guest post
  • Hank at Science 2.0 who encouraged me to also post there 

Actually 72,636 of those pageviews were in the last 12 months.  I've posted 126 times on this site and 228 times total including other sites.  The most read blog posts have been:
