In the past hours I have just gained my 1000th Blog Follower (The Happy Lifeaholic). The total number of followers now stands at 1178 (which includes 160 Twitter Followers). The next milestone for some strange reason is 1337 Blog Followers, I wonder how long it will take to reach this number.
The number of page views stands at just under seven hundred shy of 40,000. Quite recently WordPress changed the notifications archive, prior to this once could see milestones for the number of likes – under the Awards section, but this is no longer the case. When last I looked I was again just a few hundred likes away from 10,000.
Does anybody know how to view the number of WordPress likes a site has received, given the recent change with the notifications area?
Speaking of numbers, my YouTube channel stands at 183,917 views so not long now before reaching 200K.
Some other recent Blog Followers include

Good Job! Sign the you are doing the right thing, no? 🙂
Yep, must be doing something right, never thought I would receive this number of followers.
Blog on! 🙂
Congratulations.. you have a great blog here.
Thanks for dropping by and the comment 🙂
I noticed you wondered about the milestone at 1337. There’s an interesting history behind that—it’s “leet” in an alphabet that uses numbers to represent letters. Google “leet” and you’ll find more than you could ever read. There’s a whole subculture centered around the language of leet speak. I imagine the techs at Automattic are well versed in it.
Thanks very much for the comment, wasn’t aware of “leet”. One of the first search results took me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet – always so much more to learn about.
No problem. When you hit that milestone, you made it into an elite group with all those followers. Belated congratulations on hitting 1,000 by the way—I see you’re now approaching 2,000!
Yeo, 2000 isn’t too far away now.
