1st Anniversary – Lets munch some cake!

Posted by Blowfish On July - 5 - 2009

c78ef020deeb617fbaa5a6755f96c284af01a3fc

Yep, this is going to be another one of those “Thank You” and Stat-Porn Posts that popped up quite often over the lasst few weeks.Many Blogs  saw the light around a year ago and the FlyingPussyfoot is no exception! Go grab a piece of cake some sparkly water and lets head down memory lane!

The FlyingPussyfoot was born on the 1st of July and this is actually a belated anniverary post ^^;;

Anyways…There was actually a Blog before the FlyingPussyfoot but it was just my playground for installing wordpress and trying everything out.When I was about to post there,I came across a pretty damn good offer of my host and went directly for a selfhosted blog with my own domain instead of the free one I messed around with before.

I know that these posts are pretty boring to most readers but Im doing this post for me and to reminiscence about my first year.Ill insert some bishoujo pictures for all the visitors that were able to sit through this ^^

I started this Blog after having a good time over at DC and reading a few blogs like HappySoda and Riuva.Back in the Day I was writing in German and my first post about importing figures was published on the second of July.A few more posts in german followed about stuff like  my Shuraki Loot,JapanDay and Tsuki-Board.Then the magical thing happened: Ive got my first comment  from a person I didnt know personally!  It was a comment by Canadian Figure Afficiando and Live Feed Master Len-Vesper!(Sadly his Sites down at the moment and I cant link to him) Thanks alot! You really helped me alot when my blog was still in its children shoes.This wasnt only the first real comment on my Blog but an English comment aswell.I soon realized that Im getting more traffic from the rest of the world than from Germany and decided to switch from german to engrish on the 10th of July.I am violating the rules of the english language since then and hope you can overlook my crappy grammar in the future aswell ^^

My first English post is kinda special for me for another reason though: Superrats,the demi-god of figure photography,posted a comment.You have to know that I didnt know anything about the dynamics of the blogosphere back then and it was for me like a miracle that someone like superrats would comment on my blog.

Mhhhh…Whipped Cream

It took me some sweet time but I finally posted my first figure review of the lovely Nida Schuettlich on the 24th July.The comments finally started to flow in and im really grateful for all the people that gave me some advice on how to improve my pictures.Lets take a look at one of the old ones:

Makes me wanna Hide in shame ^^

And heres one of the latest:

Its nice to see that I improved a bit over the last year and I hope ill keep on improving.One of my biggest driving forces to keep improving is comrade meronpan since he started his blog around the same time as me.Whenever I notice an improvement in his reviews my hot-blooded fighting spirit starts burning and I feel the urge to surpass him.This will prove to be a difficult challenge though since he just levelled up his camera and lighting ^^;;;

Well…if my Eternal Rival levels up I just need to train more! Time to put on some ankle weights and practise photography!

Lets get to the statpr0n:

One Year Flying Pussyfoot is:

  • 105 Posts
  • 1671 Comments ( 266 by Blowfish)
  • 2 Pages
  • 12 Categories
  • 198 Tags

Id like to share some traffic stats with you aswell but my hosts statistics seem to be a bit funked up.I missed the chance to install a proper stat-tracker until late November but I believe the Pageview data gathered by Statpress are more realistic than my hosts.

stat 1

Too Good to be true

stat3

Sounds more like it

So what does this mean?No Idea! Atleast Im having some readers ^_^

I recently installed the Wordpress.com Stat Plugin aswell and now lets get to the fun stuff:

People that visited my Site especially like to check out Exelica-Meteor,AutrianOtakuLive and the Dis-jointed Zone

My Top Posts are the Big HLJ Sale,Reina Review,Soniko Review,Horo Review and my big 15 pound of awesome box

Still awake?Great!

I once again want to thank all my visitors and commenters for dropping by on this blog and giving me a reason to continue what I like.Lets have another fantastic second year!

I hope to get rid of the lack of Updates soon but I picked up Super Smash Brothers Brawl a few days ago for 19 Euro (what was MediaMarkt thinking? lol) and I am kinda busy now…Played 11 hours against my brother yesterday ^^;;;;

I never expected blogging to be this fun and its absolutely fantastic to have contact to people all over the world that share the same love for Japan,Anime and figures as me.I hope you enjoy this as much as I do

Kampai!

    When u first commented my blog, I thought u were kinda annoying. Like ur comments was kinda pissed me off but soon afterwards I knew the person u were like. One of the great things of blogging I found was getting to know the person more overtime and ur clearly one of them.

    Congratz on making it this far and as always, I’m looking forward to ur next stories no matter how long u take to post them up. ^^d

We both started in the same month and year, but you were first of course ^^ I remember the old look of the blog, though I’m not sure when exactly I started coming around here anymore, or where I came from, I’m going to guess Len Vesper’s blog though. Hope you have another great year!

    Happy Anniversary! There’s surely a lot of us starting blogging around this time last year ^^

    Definitely remembered the Nida review – did my first figure photoshoot around the same time. Why the shame though? It’s great to see how much has changed over the 1 year! Speaking of which, it’s crazy how time flies… Didn’t feel like that long ago when I first commented on your blog there.

    Keep up the good effort pal, and congrats for keeping the blog up and the hobby all this time!

  24. Blowfish Said,

    Thanks alot everyone!!

    @Phossil
    Yup,I had a few in German but your spanish one is my first ^^

    @anon_object
    Thanks a bunch! I hope so aswell

    @optic
    Haha yeah I remember that one of my comments made you believe that I accused you of copying Danny.It was just a big misunderstandment due to my Engrish though ^^;;;
    I think it was the Mikuru Figma post.
    I enjoy to meet all these interesting people aswell.Too bad were all worlds apart

    @wolfheinrich
    It feels great to be rewarded with a comment for your work.Too bad many people do only lurk

    @snark
    Didnt you do a post about that 2Ch Doujin Cripple Love Sim?Thats were those hits are probably coming from ^^

    @Persocom
    The old Look of my Blog feels already ages ago even though I switched in Mid December.We had quite a few talks in Len-Vespers Live Feed and i Think we went on from there to the second base lol

    @lightningsabre
    Yep,its “only” my first year.The Professional Look comes from the Gamzine im using.I just modded it a lil teeny weeny bit and thats it.Its rather unstable though.Doesnt work with alot of Plugins

    @Q
    Yeah,time sure does fly.A really,really big thank you to you for beeing my best regular visitir ^_^b

    @superrats
    Haha,I would say the same things about other Nations speaking German.But in all honesty im sometimes embarrased about my engrish.Especially about those quick late night posts ^^;;

    @Feldi
    Ahh thats too kind ^^

    @Roy
    Oh man you are way too kind ^^;;
    The Blog went through quite some changes during the last year and im really happy that it turned out like this.Dont feel bad for not having awesome stats though.Thats the last thing you should care about since Blogging should be fun and no task to attract customers.Comments are a better indicator for your blogs popularity than stats.Most of those visitors are searching for H Pics anyways and dont give a damn about your blog.

    @Kanon
    Thanks!

    @meronpan
    Thats the spirit of the youth! Blood and tears and Energy! Im always reminded of those cheap shounen slogans when im reading rivalry ^^
    Well my fault was probably that one Team Blue post about Lolita Complex and my loli rant about Koihime Musou.All those poor Lolicons come to my site and are greeted by well bosomed girls.They must be shocked for life XD

    @Jem
    Yeah,I didnt expect to be ranking among the first NSFW Google Pages ^^
    Thanks alot!

    @coco
    I guess those hits must be coming from my Bitter Virgin Manga Post.Its an awesome Manga! Be sure to catch it!!! I cant explain otherwise

    @aprilius
