As a gift to you, we offer this sneak peek behind the scenes at the Estes Parkian.
We have grown by leaps and bounds, nearing our third year of service to Estes Park.
Our humble blog has developed a fantastic following; please consider the following information .
From a readership of 25 to 100 per day in the beginning, we now have 2,000 to 25,000 visits to our blog each day, strongest in the winter, slows down in the summer.
We have regular visits from every state in the union and several foreign countries.
Including: Spain, England, Italy, Canada, China, and Australia.
Wisconsin, Texas, California, New York, Florida, of coarse Colorado, are some of our strongest domestic visitors. Locally we get a lot of visits from Fort Collins, Longmont, Highlands Ranch, Denver, and Loveland.
The original concept of the Estes Parkian was and still is, to provide a free speech forum for citizens of this little burg. We all live in a fish bowl of a little town and the Estes Parkian is a valuable service as a pressure release valve.
We offer up our opinions, we think an awful lot of people in and out of town share our point of view.
We enjoy our opinions we believe them to be valid, true and correct. No one has yet to prove them incorrect, false or misleading; sometimes the truth is difficult to digest.
By the way the number one contributor to our comments pages is town hall. Town staff spends a lot of time on our little site.
All that “you have no value” stuff – Town Hall.
All that “you cannot spell” stuff – Town Hall.
All that “your grammar is bad” stuff - Town Hall.
So for a while, or at least until Peter Marsh and the propaganda staff of the town find something else to do with their time besides monitor and comment on our blog (hopefully they will stay off those X sites - computer games maybe? ) we will just be offering our opinions, without comment privileges. Thank town staff for that!
