3000 page views anniversery post

Today my blog officially hit 3000 page views and to commemorate this extraordinary event I am going to write a post about the history of this blog from the very time it was at the drawing board to where it is today.

The Beginning
When I started this blog I was a complete internet newbie so I did not know anything about blogger or wordpress or free web hosting.So about a year ago someone asked to me to make a website for them using Ms Publisher since I knew the basics and I agreed and also decided to make one for myself too since I had a lot of free time to burn.From that the first layout for the Kenyan Guru website was born.
I took like a month looking for a suitable free web host because back then I didn't know that many sites.I finally found one and uploaded the HTML to it and that was on January 16th of this year(this is an estimate as I don't remember the actual date).The url was kenyanguru.kohost.0lx.net(don't visit the link now as it will just redirect back to this blog)

The take-off
For the next month I was the only one visiting the site and updating the site was a real hassle because every time I updated the posts or the layout I had to update the HTML files all over again which used to get on my nerves.Since I was using Ms Publisher the website didn't look very pleasing and so I rarely got new visitors or any significant traffic.To solve my updating problem I decided to add a blogger blog to my articles section so that I could easily update the section that needed to be updated.The traffic was still not significant enough so I did what all new blogger do by submitting the site to directories and search engines but it did not help much as the site was not interactive as it did not offer any feeds and readers could not post comments.
As time passed I started concentrating on the blog more than I did on the main site and around July I moved my site to the blog and redirected all the little traffic that was there here.
With time I got used to the blogger tools and editing the layout that I got bored with the default Rounders 3 template I was using and so I changed to another very popular template(guess?)Langit Blogger.Even though it looked good I still wasn't happy with it and so I scoured the web until I found this template called Vista84 which is the one I am currently using.From then on I increased the frequency at which I updated my blog and in months such as August I even updated my blog daily.

The present
From then on traffic and readership has been on a steady increase and I couldn't be happier.I would like to thank all the readers,commentors and subscribers for making this possible.
