I'm glad I was able to catch this in time. This very post is, in fact, my 500th post here on ScottRobertsWeb.com! Ever since I first converted my web design portfolio site into a full-fledged blog back in 2007, I had no idea I would be able to keep plugging away with new stuff 500 posts later, let alone 200. I know I've posted quite a few frivolous things, bits of unimportant junk here and there, but hopefully in all that there have been a few articles or reviews that have helped someone or entertained them in some capacity.
I want to give a shout out to those who regularly visit the site and have given a damn by helping to promote it or by linking to it from their own web site. Thanks! My hat goes off to all of you.
I find it noteworthy to see how the site has evolved from an equal 33%-33%-33% balance of spicy food coverage, technology matters, and general topics into something that focuses 98% on spicy food. I never planned it out that way, but I guess it just reflects what's interesting to me in my personal life.
And while I'm on the topic of the website, I'm pleased to report that September 2009 was the busiest month ever on ScottRobertsWeb.com with 25,890 visitors and 23,518 absolute unique visitors (the later of which means that the number wasn't produced by the same person reloading the page over and over). I've had a big boast in traffic since the August 2009 Weekend of Fire show, and the number has been increasing steadily ever since.
Again, my thanks goes out to the readers of this blog. I'd be nothing without you as an audience.
Onward to 1,000 posts...

GREAT blog, great reviews, and loads of them. You are fast and usually have new stuff daily. You are the Stephen King of hot sauce reviews!
But I gotta tell you I get scared everytime I log on by that menacing scowl in the banner....I hope we never meet in a dark St. Louis alley!
No seriously, I do look forward to meeting you someday at a hot sauce event or something - I am taking my kids to visit the Gateway Arch in next year - one of my favorite places in America, maybe we can meet then.
Rock on Scott.

Jon, lemme know a few weeks before you come here, and we'll plan the meetup.
Kurt, what kinds of problems are you having with the RSS feed? I've just checked it in Firefox and Internet Explorer and they look fine to me.
