.000000007% of the photos run on Coupeville Sports in the last three years.

So, this is where I’m probably suppose to say something profound.
Today, Aug. 16, 2015, marks three years since Coupeville Sports hit the internet.
Over that time, I have produced 3,373 articles (slightly more than three a day) and at least four (or five) of them were truly worth reading.
Maybe slightly more. Maybe…
The internal clicker on Word Press shows I have accumulated 592,571 page views, which averages out to around 541 a day.
Some days a lot more, some days less.
Not as many as the big boys, but a lot more than I might have expected when my coverage area — small town sports — is pretty much the definition of a niche, and a very narrow one at that.
What have I learned in the last three years?
Run photos. A lot of them.
Like thousands of them.
Hey, if it’s worked so far, why change now?
