Other scintillating stats

SaimaSays.com was once very very briefly mentioned on The Guardian website.
Most people who visit this site do so because they searched for “saima” at Google. I’m not the Lollywood actress they were probably looking for.
Now please join me in singing to SaimaSays.com.
Happy birthday to you,
I surfed, as you do,
I saw an hideously ugly weblog with a pink background and lime green text,
And I thought it was you.
Now I just need to figure out how to give this weblog the bumps.

  1. omg omg omg! I made it on the top 5 commentators list!! yesssss! and by the way… you KNOW! you just KNOW i would’ve been #1 had it not been for someone hounding me and threatening to eat me alive for visiting your site!

  2. Congatulations! 5 years, wow!
    This site is immense, a real powerhouse of a blog. I hope your ISP gave you something. Werther’s original or something.

  3. NoMojoPin, you are confusing my ISP with Mr Jones, the 84 year old man that lives at the bottom of your street. Easily done.
    Ammar, you SO would have been!
    Was my blog offline today? It seems to be performing really really well today, better than it has done in months. Maybe they were doing some maintenance work on it.

  4. Five years. Yowza.
    I tried and failed miserably to keep a regular weblogbut you sure got some stamina my friend.
    Here’s to another five glorious years of SaimaSays!
    PS: I am considering starting a new blog for my stay in the Carib. Think I will call it tropicaljournal or something… More news soon.
    Off to the golf course to work that tan… Man its hot here!
