Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
I plan to blog once a day over the holidays even though high school sports are on hiatus.
Also, I wanted to say thanks for clicking on this space as much as you do.
I started this blog after returning from the Olympics because I kind of got the blog buzz while in Beijing. I didn’t know what to expect or if it would resonate but it has been a huge success.
We have about a dozen or so blogs at The Record and the high school blog — despite being out for just four months — is the most popular of them all. It has the most total visitors, daily average visitors and comments. And it’s growing daily.
A couple of interesting stats. The single busiest day — by far — was Dec. 3, the day of the Western Bowl. Live blogging from the game may have helped with the numbers there. The next busiest? Back in November on the day senior football semifinals were played.
Goes to show that football is one of the most followed sports around these parts, for now.

Hey Josh, I just thought that I'd let you know that this is great, I come here everyday to see what's up in the high school region. I go to FHCI and see how they're doing by coming to your blog everyday. Anyways Merry Christmas and have a great holiday !
