Holy moly, Batman! This is the 500th post on The Coach Hays blog since its start back in 2010. Wow! It’s hard to fathom this ever happening. The blog started out for two reasons. First, I wanted to learn WordPress. Second, I wanted to write posts that made my mother laugh.
Seriously, that’s the not-too-exciting origin story of The Coach Hays blog. Since then, it has become a place for me to share all the stories, the rants, the history, and generally wild and wacky stuff that’s pretty much constantly bouncing around inside my head.
Here are a few quick stats:
- 111,453 views
- 73,746 visitors
- Biggest single day: July 13, 2022
- Most searched post: Fire Baton Dad Duty (Yes, you read that right! I guess people need to learn how to prepare fire batons.)
- Post #1 – One of My Favorite Photos from the LTH
I want to thank everyone who has read this blog over the years. Whether you’ve read one post or read 499, I appreciate you and hope you keep reading. As I’ve said over the years, I write these because the stories are itching inside my head to be told. The drive to sit down and write these stories is rooted in the thought there might be at least one reader out there who might want to read them.
Again, THANK YOU! Here’s to 500 The Coach Hays blog posts with hope there’s at least one hundred more stupid ideas inside my big Bubba head.
