Blogathon 2012: Recap

For the last 31 days, I have participated in the WordCount Blogathon 2012 challenge to write every day of May. I have tried to write insightful and informative posts, hoping that you might find them useful. I have tried not to water down anything or get too caught up in theology (hard to do as a new theology student). I have tried to add a bit of wit and humor when appropriate.

Joe Catholic hit some high marks during this 31 day run. We had our highest page viewership for one month. By the time this is posted, we will have broken the 30,000 page views threshold. This may not seem like much, but considering it took nearly 3 years to rack up the first 10,000, I think it is. I believe having the faith to cast the nets into deeper waters is paying off. Viewership has continued to grow exponentially each month. I attribute this to the Holy Spirit and not to anything I have done in particular.

I will be falling back into a more regular routine of posting 3-5 times a week. In the coming weeks we hope to relaunch a new comprehensive Joe Catholic web site with all the social media bells and whistles.  I will keep you posted. We plan on integrating this blog into the new site.

The Joe Catholic leadership team is also in the planning stages of organizing its first Men's Conference at St. Catherine. We hope to have more news soon. We are targeting the beginning of the school year.
