Waiting already for it for a few weeks, as I noticed I could easily reach 550,000 blog visitors before the end of 2018. Today around 8pm Amsterdam time I finally reached this goal. This blog was started on 9 September 2012. Best ever views (4,318) on one day were reached on 1 October 2018 when […]

This blog was started on 9 September 2012. Best views surprisingly were on 18 July 2013. No idea what the reason was, probably the nearing birth […]

It is supposed to protect and empower the data privacy of citizens of the European Union. Their website says the new […]

When busy with my blog yesterday, I suddenly noticed that my post on Sunday was actually the 400th post being published on this blog. Or at least the 400th post that is still there, as I have deleted some in recent years. I guess about half of them were written in the past year when […]

I hear you thinking! Not yet another blog design!

I just choose one that looked nice, but since I have always […]

In the past year it has been a challenge to me to update my blog regularly instead of once in a while. Time to reflect and see which posts (old or new) were most popular in 2017. I slowly get more visitors, but I think I still could do much better. The concurrence of other […]

I started my website in October 1998. At the time I was in between two studies and certainly didn’t lack any time. A friend of mine, who had recently started a website with royal genealogies, inspired me. He borrowed me a booklet about HTML and helped me starting the site up. Just imagine, I didn’t […]

Unbelievably but true, despite of not having written on this blog regularly since its start in September 2012 until December 2016 this blog reached a special milestone yesterday, 17 February 2017. I had just let my statistics transferred in time as the blog reached an amount of 400,000 visitors since its start. I hope the […]

I guess everyone who has his/her own website or blog knows the feeling. Starting a new website or blog costs time, the same counts when you move a blog to another place. Last week I switched from a free WordPress.com blog to my own domain with use of WordPress.org. Almost the same name, but a […]
