MiniatureWargaming Celebrates Its Birthday
19th Century
Happy Birthday to MiniatureWargaming dot Com!
I launched the site on March 22, 2004, so today, MiniatureWargaming heads into its fourth year of operation.
I started MiniatureWargaming as an attempt to organize and share all of the miniature wargaming related links in my “favorites” folder. It has since taken on a life of its own. There are, as of this writing, 2,763 categorized, indexed and searchable blog entries. Each entry contains a link to a useful—and free—wargaming resource, and a brief description of what you’ll find there. There are links to free rules, painting guides, terrain tips, modeling hints, scenarios, paper figures and terrain, historical resources and other fun and useful stuff.
In addition, the Miniature Wargaming Directory lists 26,021 wargaming related websites in 3629 categories. I’ve also installed a gallery to display photos I’ve taken at conventions and a wiki called the MiniPedia, where gamers can add their own miniature wargaming encyclopedia entries. The most recent addition is a new forums module. Not much activity there, but it’s still very new.
Here are some other numbers for the last three years:
* 2,763 blog posts
* 26,021 sites listed in the directory
* 124,258,840 Hits
*3,106,471 Visitors
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to visit. The fact that so many have found the site useful is a source of neverending amazement and pride.
