Blog Secret Revealed!

POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Completely Crazy

Ok, ready for the big BradRuggles.com blog secret?

I hit two big milestones in the last week. The first was my 100th blog subscriber. CJ Mills found my site through another friend’s blog and became my 100th subscriber. Since then I’ve added an additional 4 readers to my ranks for a grand total of 104! You guys are awesome!

Earlier today I was logged in to my blog control panel and realized that I was within a few comments of my 500th comment. Jason Salamun, one of my long-time readers and fellow-church planter, posted the golden 500th comment at 12:57 this afternoon. Thanks Jason!

As a special thank you, I’ll be sending each of them a $10 iTunes gift certificate. See, I told you it pays to subscribe!

These guys are pretty awesome. Check them out.

    So many people to thank….so little time….

    Without Pat Rowland – http://www.http://outofneutral.tv – none of this would have happened (but you can still hook ME up with the $10 iTunes gift certificate, not Pat…I’m not THAT nice of a guy)!

    I am new to the blog world, but find it interesting how we all connect. I enjoy your blog and agree with Jason, this made my day!

    Congrats man! Your subscription numbers have gone up tremendously in the last couple of months. When I subscribed (I think about two months ago, you were at 60-something).

    I love my family more than anything but I still struggle to keep my passions and priorities in order. I’m passionate about the Church, its influence on culture, and making it better. I’m constantly challenging the process - examining what I do, why I do it and its relevance in today’s progressive culture. read more
