Turner Report reaches 8 million visitors

Sometime earlier this week, the Turner Report received visitor number eight million.

I started publishing this blog in October 2003, and it plugged along steadily for its first seven and a half years of existence.

The first major spike in readership came after the May 22, 2011, Joplin Tornado, but even more readers arrived after my firing by the Joplin R-8 School District when I expanded coverage of both the school district and the city of Joplin.

While it took 12 years and eight months to reach seven million visitors, the last million have stopped by during the past six months.

Thanks for your support.
