I started Decline Of The Empire on January 16, 2010. Today DOTE surpassed 100,000 pageviews. Thanks for paying attention. DOTE is averaging about 1000 page views per day over the last couple weeks, and I believe 250,000 pageviews is an attainable goal for 2010.
My first post, on January 16, was Is The Great Recession Over? — at that time, I thought the answer was "no"
If the DOTE message weren't important, I wouldn't bother doing this. But if nobody visits, what's the point? So I hope you'll keep coming back, and invite your friends.
This blog will never attain the popularity of some other websites I could name because here, I assume that the "normal world" you seem to be immersed in is over & done with. Gone, and not coming back!
It's time to move on, and things do not get better from here on out. You've got to find some way to survive as the Future gets worse, or at least does not improve.
Sorry to bring this up, but there's a Tip Jar for a reason. I need financial support, and I don't want to put pointless Google ads on this website. The Tip Jar works through PayPal, and I've received some donations that way so far, for which I'm very grateful. Please consider making a contribution through PayPal, or if you don't want to bother creating a PayPal account, contact me personally. I'm sure we can work something out.
Thanks for reading!
best,
Dave Cohen
My pleasure and interest to read, Dave. I hope you keep at it. FYI, I've been reading your stuff via Energy Bulletin for what seems like a couple years now, at least, and which is how I found this particular blog.
