This is my 1,000th post!
1,000 entries is a whole lot of blog. But 1,000 entries in and of itself doesn’t mean a whole lot, so I was curious about how much writing that actually is.
WordPress doesn’t seem to have a utility to tally up all the words in all of your posts, so I had to write one myself. I calculate that I’ve written over 330,000 words on this blog. That’s over 1.5 million characters typed.
Why? I don’t know. Maybe I’ll figure it out by post 2,000.
(Note that there are 30 some odd private entries, not counted in the 1,000 posts, but counted in the word count)

Congrats!! That is some accomplishment, just difficult (at least for me) to compare to other people’s accomplishments. But the amount of time you (plus Sara & Evie, and we know Oliver will soon be making suggestions for daddy’s “eblog”) have invested is more than we readers deserve. Hope Evie and Oliver will truly appreciate it some day!!

I’m impressed. We can all see how my “twice a week” resolution panned out. :-S
