I almost forgot! It’s my blogiversary! On May 21st of 2007, I opened my WordPress blog after keeping a few notes on Blogger, which I didn’t love. I started out blogging about the abomination that is Conservapedia, added my own medical musings that I had collected over the years, and then branched out into the world of medical science, skepticism, and whatever else I wanted to do. In the 10 months I was at WordPress, I published 332 posts. In my first full month online, I had 381 visits. In August of 2007, I had almost 22,000 page views.

In March of this year, the Hoofnagle brothers invited me to come over to denialism blog here at ScienceBlogs, and the opportunity to work with other dedicated writers has been terrific.

I love to write, and the blogsphere has been very good to me. Thanks for visiting.

    Congrats, Dr. Lipson. I assume your traffic here is up from over at whitecoatunderground, even though those are decent numbers.

    Good job.

    Congratulations on surviving a full year!

    By the way, it’s properly spelled Conservapædia. 😉

    I found your blog from a link from somewhere on scienceblogs.

    Denialism is something that has always fascinated me, though I didn’t know there was a word for it.

    I still find it fascinating (and horrifying) that there are groups of people opposed to to vaccines (and indoor plumbing?).

    Congratulations on your anniversary, and your swift rise to power! I have to say, Denialism is my favourite blog bar none, and your contribution is part of that. Some people prefer the spleen-venting at Pharyngula, but I think you strike the perfect balance between asserting opinion, but basing it on solid evidence. Long may it continue.

    Pal, I look only a few blogs/fora; but I discovered yours shortly before you moved here, and it became a ‘must’. The Hoofnagles are a bonus.

    Does anyone else think ‘hoofnagle’ sounds like it should be a verb?
