Birthday Stats Roundup

Today’s my birthday - and as a birthday treat to myself, I decided to take a look at my blog’s statistics. (I know, fun, right?)

Now for the stats - drumroll, please! As of February 20, 2008…

Welcome to Ed Tech Hacks!

Today marks my “official” launch for this blog, but as I’ve quickly learned, as soon as something is available on the internet, people will find it.

I already have links from people on del.icio.us and StumbleUpon, readers from MyBlogLog, followers on Twitter, and RSS subscribers. I’m glad you all have found me, and I hope you stick around, because there’s much more to come.

While you’re here, why not find out some more about me, get in touch with me, or browse the posts I’ve created already.

Update:
This is why I need to keep up a little better on my podcasts… it turns out, my blog was mentioned on the Ed Tech Talk radio show back on December 16th. Thanks guys!

Back in the blog’s early test posts, when it was picked up on the Ed Tech Talk radar, it was mostly link roundups and blog reviews (and trust me, those goodies will still continue!), but I’m planning some great feature-length posts tackling some topics in the field of Ed Tech. So stay tuned!
