I wish to congratulate Twitter follower Requisition for the above screenshot (cropped) of my 20,000th hit!
Man, I'll tell you, back in March 08, when I started SES, I would've NEVER conceived of getting 20,000 different visitors, especially in under a year. Though, with links from such esteemed bloggers as BigRedKitty, Breana, Pike, and all the other "lesser-known" bloggers who link to me, I guess it was simply... a matter of time.
I am honestly awed that so many people consider SES worth reading, and beyond that, so many people have linked to my guides and posts as ammunition for arguments, criterion for raid preparedness, or just their raw humor. I'm eternally grateful to every positive commenter, for you guys are why SES exists.
Moving forward? I want SES to stand and shine brightly in the BM-dominated Hunter blogscape. Not that anything's wrong with the BM bloggers, but we need some parity of representation, people! Beyond that, I'd like to try and forge SES into something that's as synonymous with Marksmanship Hunters as BigRedKitty is with Beast Mastery Hunters (and Hunters in general) - I know I'm light-years away from that point, but that's my goal.
I may move SES to a self-hosted Wordpress solution at some point if I find I'm outgrowing the Blogger platform. Not sure if it'll ever happen, but if it does, you'll always find your hot, fresh, Marksmanship-biased news on the Stabilized Effort Scope News Network.
Thank you all for making running Stabilized Effort Scope a joy and a true passionate work. Originally what was just my sounding board as a vanilla veteran meandering through BC's new world has truly become something all its own - a haven for Marksmanship Hunters to come, to learn, and to be encouraged. May it continue on its path, with me at its helm, and you as its crew.

Congrats!
Indeed! Congratulations are in order!
I do appreciate the MM perspective, because as you said it's a BM dominated landscape at the moment.
HOWEVER.
That might change with Blizzard's new philosophy. I hope that yoru example allows other bloggers to try something new.
I myself Like survival second best at the moment, and might give it a shot again once the patch goes through... and the internet connection allows me.
grats,though from the looks of it, you're getting a lot of lurkers on your site. hopefully they will add their 2 cents in here eventually (as long as it isnt a personal attack or something).

Congratulations!
I know a lot of people have said to me they are changing form BM to SV with the coming patch, so at the very least the world might become less BM-centric.
Its only a matter of time until MM becomes the flavor of the month, and *that's* when you strike ;-)
Hey I've just randonly found you blog and was reading the post about soloing Onyxia.
Did you manage to do it?
Congrats!
Although if I am honest, I've only just found your blog, but I linked to yours the minute I read your blog. It's great and I'll be back everyday :-)
Nope, not yet - best performance so far is about 47%. I'm just having too much trouble staying alive during phase 2 - I definitely think I need RoS to siphon off damage from the fireballs to Kongsecrate, since I can heal him more than once a minute.
