I had started this Hostinger self-hosted KM&T blog on 11/3/2022, as almost an ongoing experiment (4-year subscription), but liked it immediately, which left me wid a few other WordPress.com blogs. Went wid the 4-year subscription after I had first tested one of Hostinger’s 1-month subscriptions ($12.49) wid a 1-year Domain Registration – linuxtestsite.online (on sale for $1.17). Deleted the Hostinger 1-month plan after letting it just expire, then deleted one of the free WordPress.com blogs, but kept two.

• #1 – I had a Blogger blog back before Google bought it, and transferred that blog over to WordPress around May of 2004. I deleted a lot of posts before transferring it, so the move may have been a little earlier in 2004. It was – The Swamp Hermit’s Report – blog. Almost 100% political, so I linked it from here as a Political ‘Hub‘ .. since I didn’t want to delete it. Hey, it’s over 18-years old, and I covered a lot of politics wid it. 😉
• #2 – The Linux Newbie – since 1996 blog was started on January 6, 2019 ‘n was pretty popular for people searching for Linux info. It still gets new views everyday from people doing searches, so I made it the Linux ‘Hub‘ .. since I didn’t want to delete it either! 😉

Have been using them both to promote this new KM&T blog, hoping that WordPress Reader would send some viewers this way, but not much action from either of them. Linux Newbie – since 1996 is still averaging about 40+ views a day from searches, and the numbers are rising again after Google had tampered wid the November Mid-term elections here in America. Was getting over 120+ views a day a few weeks before the election…then a sudden plunge in views.

Will probably keep them both around, but time will tell…
