We started From Our Corner last winter and, after more than 600 posts, we’ve passed our one-year mark. Over the last 12 months, the blog has really become a major hub of information sharing and activity for the Secretary of State’s Office.

We had  48,500 unique visitors check out our blog in our first 12 months – more than the amount of folks it takes to fill Safeco Field! We approved and posted more than 1,000 public comments that met our blog use policy.

By far the most-read posts of 2009 were those focusing on the R-71 initiative count this past summer; our top-10 most popular stories were on this topic. You were also fans of Washington trivia posts and information about legislation coming out of Olympia.

The blog has been a great way for us to communicate with you – and for you to talk to us. Thanks to everyone who has been reading, sending feedback, linking to us and asking great questions!  Keep it coming!
