Contribution Updates

We are currently at 319 contributors. Our immediate goal is to get to 500 contributors with bigger plans beyond that, but we are currently headed in the wrong direction. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful this is to our site to give us breathing room in terms of resources to put towards coverage. Thank you to those of you who have signed up, and I encourage those of you who haven’t (but enjoy our coverage) to do so.

Site/Staff Updates

Nothing new to note, although we are planning on having the baseball schedule and roster up soon. aYou can comment below on what you’d like to see or email us at pistolsfiringblog at gmail dot com.

Site Growth

Pageviews through Feb. 19, 2018: 1.8M
Pageviews through Jan. 28, 2017: 1.2M
Most popular post of February: Hawaii starting QB transfers to OSU
Most popular post of 2018: Spencer out as DC

Twitter followers: 36,400
Facebook likes: 23,490

One of our goals for 2018 is to top 20 million pageviews. Last year we had just over 14 million so that’s going to be a chore, especially if men’s basketball fails to make the NCAA Tournament.
