And of course there are the links from the Digg-nation: There’s an entire school located in a Chinese cave. And here are some pictures of sunrises and sunsets while to top it off, here are some cool facts you didn’t know.

Enjoy!

Above is the result of a readability test for this blog.

If you believe the test whatever is written on this blog can only be understood by a genius. That of course seriously limits the amount of potential readers. Could that be the reason that this blog is not in the Technorati Top Blogs list? Because when you look at it’s top 5, four have High School Level Readability (Engadget, Gizmodo, BoingBoing and TechCrunch) and one is at Junior High Level (Huffington Post).

It’s more likely that the authors of those blogs have found an effective and entertaining way communicating about popular issues/subjects (4 feature gadgets/geek/tech-news, 1 is about politics) that people are passionate about.

It seems like yesterday that I fired up Blogger for the first time and started writing this post. But that’s exactly 2 years and 151 posts ago so today marks Ylliks’s 2nd anniversary!

The blog hasn’t turned into an Engadget or Huffington Post traffic wise, but I’ve never expected it to do so. Returning visitors have gone up during the 2 years, so has overall traffic and rss-subscriptions. But don’t get me wrong, they are not even up in the several hundreds a month.

But I enjoy the blogging experience weekly and I have some plans to expand it further (maybe to 2 a week) since I want to become a better writer (for professional and personal reasons). The Weekly Linkage will stay put (it returns tomorrow) but I’m planning on doing more actual writing. So expect to see some more posts in the future.

So let me use this opportunity to thank the people who’ve been kind enough to give me feedback and who visit here on a regular basis. I know who you are and it’s highly appreciated.

So thanks again and I hope to see you all again soon!
