Hooray, as today, August 11, 2026, is the 18th anniversary of my blog, “The Progressive Professor”!
Since August 11, 2008, this author, scholar, and blogger has published entries on most days, with the only major exceptions being when having gone on “vacation” over the years.
An exact total, as of today, of 8,900 entries have been published, and 36,248 comments have been added by readers and myself, with particularly one family of six individuals in Virginia contributing a massive number of comments, as well as my friend in Maryland, Wayne Johnson, but also other commentators over these past 18 years.
These comments have enriched this blog tremendously, and I wish to thank all contributors, as well as the thousands of readers who have been loyal to reading my blog, even if they do not contribute comments.
On the average, about 1,000 individuals read my blog daily, and utilize my multitude of links, as well as my own past interviews and article submissions on other sites, including my C Span interview about my “Assassinations” book in 2015.
I am hopeful I will be able to continue to contribute my thoughts and insights on American politics, history, and government for many more years, and again, I thank all of my readers and contributors for their loyalty to my site.
Congratulations Ron!
Congratulations!
Thanks, Bob Brennan, and Rustbelt Democrat, for your congratulations, much appreciated! 🙂
