The Martin Chronicles has been averaging more than 450 unique visits a day over the last two weeks. Not too bad at all for a new blog covering a city only 3.5 square miles in size.
We understand that the interest in the road tax vote played a major role in the surge of unique visits. That's fine with us. We're glad that people were engaged in this important vote. We are also pleased that many of these new readers continue to check in.
While we are sure a few people will disagree(and we know you can guess who they are), The Martin Chronicles tries very hard to be fair and accurate. We have several ongoing blog contributors. We never run a story without multiple sources and we check and double-check all the tips that are sent to us. There are several stories we are still checking into that would certainly be sensational. But we want to be as sure as we possibly can be that they are also factual before we run them.
Yes, we freely admit that we enjoy gigging hypocrites and lampooning politicians overly-impressed with their own power. Bloviators and demagogues drive us crazy. These folks are spending our money after all. Heck, a blog like the Martin Chronicles is as American as apple pie and Mom's fried chicken on Sunday!
Stay with us. Tell your friends to read us. Things are just starting to get interesting.
