The Race to 1000!

Those of you that scroll down the page beyond the lead article have probably seen our flag collection on the bottom left side of the page, showing where the traffic is coming from internationally. We added that widget about a month or so ago, and it's been terrific fun. Obviously, the US readership is going to be high, as we're mostly* a US-based staff, covering mostly US-based or -related topics (though I still contend that we've got a far more international flavor than most US milblogs).

What's going to be interesting is to see whether we get 1000 hits first from the UK or Canada. And will get to 1000 from either of them before the US hits 7000? I'm pretty sure Australia will get to 500 before Germany, but it might be close.

In any event, it's been a lot of fun watching our readership grow and expand, and we thank all of you for it. Please keep spreading the word!

Oh, and drop us some comments every here and there, willya?! We're happy to get a conversation going 'round these parts!

*Note to Shelldrake: I said 'mostly'! :P
