HORRORPHILE HITS 500!
September 27th 2010 06:14
Just a quick post - an unashamedly self-indulgent moment to pat myself on the back - to announce that Horrorphile – Pleasure of Nightmares has very recently acquired 500 email subscribers and counting. Woo hoo! I have 567 followers; a more recent net traffic addition in the wake of the whole Twitter phenomenon, and interesting to note that “following” is more popular than subscribing via email, as the number of followers crept up and passed my email subscribers very quickly.
I remember when I reached 20 subscribers and it felt good. Next goal is to reach 1000 followers, with email subscribers not far behind. I have to admit though that having subscribers feels more solid, whereas followers comes across as more ephemeral. Regardless of the format, it’s great having the support and it feels good that my list of followers increases almost daily. I guess that's where the jugular lies.
I know that around 90% of my supporters prefer to remain anonymous, and so they don’t ever leave comments, and I accept that. They like having the post update sent to them, and to read at their own leisure and not have to announce that they’ve read it. And that’s fine with me. Although the Debate Battle! Vampires or Werewolves post continues to get bombarded with comments, from all sorts. That’s a post I made nearly three years ago, and it continues to writhe and thrive, with currently 569 votes! I don’t plan on closing that debate any time soon; it’s an amusing and enlightening beast unto itself.
So, thank you once again to all the loyal Horrorphile readers, my True Believers, and please continue to spread the word. The more followers and subscribers in the Darkness the better the nightmares!

Actually when I was referring to "followers" I was talking about the Orble followers.
I do have a Twitter account, but I have yet to embrace the format, it just seems like a task to me, that I keep forgetting to use.

Congratulations Bryn. You deserve it, and Horrorphile is a great example of what good blogging is all about.
Love the illustration, by the way. I'm putting a blown-up copy on the wall of my dungeon.
