Radio Se7en has reached its first major milestone - it's now one month old.  Congratulations.  During the month, I've posted 76 times, averaging around 2.5 posts a day.  It's strange in that I was quite worried there wouldn't be enough material to go round, but everyday brings new stuff, before I even go looking for older stuff.

A couple of people have asked me why I'm doing it.  Well, I'm not very technically adept and the Se7en community, especially here in Northern Ireland, has always been very good to me in helping when I've had bother.  So this is my way of giving something back to everyone who has helped me.

Regarding the podcast, I will get round to it in a little while, probably October - I'm going to be busy with other stuff in September and I've been having audio issues with my main PC.  I hope to build up a few industry contacts so that I can bring you interviews with key people in the Se7en world but that will take some time and I need to get Radio Se7en's credibility built-up.

In this first month, Radio Se7en was visited by nearly 340 unique IP addresses.  Ok, some of those IP addresses will be robots and web crawlers but I'd hope that I now have 300-odd readers.  I'm delighted with that after a month and couldn't have asked for more.

What are the goals for Radio Se7en?  World domination?  Not quite - I would like it to be the number one news site for Se7ens.  The trick is how to measure this.  Do I use Google's ranking on a search such as "Caterham Seven"? (The answer's 244th, by the way) or do I just rely on the number of readers?  I'm not sure, but I'd sure like to improve the ranking on Google anyway!

I'm always interested in news and events, articles and a bit of link love.  Comment on stories and give me feedback, positive or negative.  Go out and spread the word of Radio Se7en.

Andrew

      Good going Andrew P. I think this site is a great service to the the Se7en community worldwide. A "Radio Free Se7en" if you will.

      One thing that I can't quite understand is the relative lack of comments chipped in by readers. It's not like those BlatChatters are shy or anything.

      So chime in folks!

      BTW, Andrew...one interesting ongoing topic would be to be the glue between the various and sundry 50th Anniversary events. I heard a rumor that the Australian contingent is also convening on 07/07/07...perhaps we try a webcam chat with the US event attendees?

      Al,

      Thanks for the comment - I'll try and follow up on the Australian 50th Anniversary stuff soon.
