Typepad, the soon-to-be defunct blog service provider, hosted this blog for most of its life (roughly from 2005 to earlier this week–the blog started in 2003 on a UTexas blog platform). During the first 22 years, the blog received more than 43,000,000 unique visits (!), averaging over 3,000,0000 unique visits every year in recent years. Given how loyal so many readers have been for so long, I’m hopeful they will follow to the new location as well. WordPress, my new blog service provider, has a stat counter built in, but once things get settled, I will see about adding a new public stat counter to this site, as I had at the old one.

Thanks, as always, for reading!

P.S. Let me note that a search engine will be added to the blog soon.
