1,000 Posts Later

It’s hard to beleive that we’ve posted 1,000 stories on the weather blog.  We started with a page on the main WJACTV.com website.  That didn’t have enough adaptability, so we moved to Blogger and later to WordPress.  We’ve been on WordPress for a while now.

This is officially our 1,000th post according to the stats system that we use.  I have a feeling that we hit 1,000 a while ago, but this is a great opportunity to look back and see some of the cooler topics we’ve talked about over the last 3 years.
