Fly Me Friendly

It would seem that my blog is getting noticed out there as according to Google Analytics, my traffic is up (yay). Even if I never went to check out the analytics information though, I’d still know that awareness was building, just by the volume of spam being automatically captured by the Akismet plug-in on the blog. There’s also the GMail spam filters on my email address – they’ve been trapping lots more too.

My thanks to those other blogs out there who have cross linked to me – that’s very much appreciated and I’m in the process of updating my Blogroll down the side of the page.

Meanwhile, at least I know that the spammers have noticed me :)

Given I’ve been involved in flying adventures for quite some time before I started this blog, I’ve wound up with a number of entries about flying over on my regular blog. I decided to split off my flying related activities to this site, including my photos, as I wanted to have everything flight related in its own space.

So, now that it’s up and running, I’m going to start copying my early flying related stories into this blog. Not sure how these will appear in the RSS feed but what the heck – at least I’ll wind up with everything together. Apologies for any confusion this may cause.

EDIT: And we’re done – about a day later and I’ve loaded a stack of back entries from the old blog over to here. Now all my flying related posts are in one place and the RSS feed didn’t get all stuffed up either.

This post marks the start of my aviation related blogging. I actually started this blog in 2008 but had a number of aviation related posts on my other blog. While they’re all still there, I’ve also put copies of them here so all my flying related information is in one spot.

So, eventually as you work through all these posts you’ll get to 2008 and find my original first post. Don’t get confused, it’s where I really started this blog as opposed to these entries that are “post-dated.”

Of course, I’ve been having flying related adventures for decades earlier than this point, let alone when I actually started the blog, but if I get around to blogging about them, it’ll be as a “reminiscence” and not back-dated like these early entries are.

Confused? Just wait ’til we get time travel sorted out and you’ll *really* get confused.
