Waiting already for it for a few weeks, as I noticed I could easily reach 550,000 blog visitors before the end of 2018. Today around 8pm Amsterdam time I finally reached this goal. This blog was started on 9 September 2012. Best ever views (4,318) on one day were reached on 1 October 2018 when […]
500,000 views, 165,891 visitors, 458 posts (459 if you count this one), 3,302 subscribers. These were the statistics of this blog on 6 June 2018 at around 1pm CEST. This blog was started on 9 September 2012. Best views surprisingly were on 18 July 2013. No idea what the reason was, probably the nearing birth […]
Some of you might have noticed I have been less online in the past weeks. I haven’t really updated my blog in the past week, and have been less active on social media, on the forums, etc. Unfortunately I have some serious health problems at the moment that have to be dealt with. I am […]
When busy with my blog yesterday, I suddenly noticed that my post on Sunday was actually the 400th post being published on this blog. Or at least the 400th post that is still there, as I have deleted some in recent years. I guess about half of them were written in the past year when […]
I hear you thinking! Not yet another blog design! When I moved this blog to its own domain almost a year ago my old WordPress theme for WordPress.com wasn’t available on the WordPress.org site, where WordPress sites with its own domain are hosted. I just choose one that looked nice, but since I have always […]
In the past year it has been a challenge to me to update my blog regularly instead of once in a while. Time to reflect and see which posts (old or new) were most popular in 2017. I slowly get more visitors, but I think I still could do much better. The concurrence of other […]
Royal Fashion – a topic you can almost not avoid anymore nowadays. In the past few years the blogs about the clothes of princesses and queens have popped up, and regularly you’ll find hot discussions on Twitter about designers and other fashionable themes. When I started writing about royals more than 15 years ago, you’d […]
It has been a very busy week. A royal wedding (Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau and Antonius Willms), royal engagements in Württemberg (Duchess Sophie with Maximilien d’Andigné) and Japan (Princess Mako and Kei Komuro), Prince George of Cambridge’s first school day, Prince Henrik of Denmark announced suffering from dementia, and of course most royals have started […]
I started my website in October 1998. At the time I was in between two studies and certainly didn’t lack any time. A friend of mine, who had recently started a website with royal genealogies, inspired me. He borrowed me a booklet about HTML and helped me starting the site up. Just imagine, I didn’t […]
