Ken Pierce Media Publishes 7000th WordPress Post

Leave a comment

editorial label, editorial,

Greetings and Felicitations my Friends, I’m taking a moment or three out of your busy day to share another of those web-publishing milestones with you all. Before I continue, lets scroll back to July of 2025 when the Ken Pierce Media website published its 6666th Post. I thought it was fun to laud something like that since our original main thing was focused on Metal and it made me think of the classic Iron Maiden song. The last few months since then have been busy and now we have just recently reached the 7000th Post not too far into February and it took about seven months to do that. As the founder and lead creative of the website it’s always a treat for me to see the numbers rise because its a more tangible medium as opposed to something on social media. This year will mark the sixth anniversary of the idea and I will be penning a missive about that in June when said birthday occurs.

Greetings my amazing friends in our readership audience and also hello to those new to the brand who’ve just happened by. It’s time for me to take a pause from the regular proceedings that we’re serving up to let you know that we have reached another website birthday. Yes, today marks the fifth anniversary of the Ken Pierce Media branding and it’s pretty cool to be sharing that as an announcement. You see, this was never really supposed to be what it has ended up being and more changes than can easily be quantified have taken place since launch and here we are. For this fifth website anniversary I’m going to take you through all of the building blocks to allow for an easier digestion of our history. I wanted to present this a little differently this time around and the revisiting helps me remember how much has changed from the original plan. Let’s get this recap rolling from the beginning which was a very simple bare bones Blogspot account.

When this idea came to my mind, I had felt that I could make a little extra money by guiding people out of the Blogger platform and onto something more malleable and functional like WordPress or Square Space. As most creative types know, Blogspot is not really considered to be the most powerful of options to do any kind of blogging or even establishing ones brand in a professional manner. A lot of people use it but there are more negatives than positives on this choice. The initial goal was to use Blogger as the scratch pad but after some consideration I felt that by posting to it I’d get more adept at it and be able too successfully guide potential clients away from it. This part of the puzzle still runs and today holds more than 2K links to stories on PiercingMetal, The Chronicles of Piercing Ken and even on the Official KPM WordPress. There’s been some thought about sunsetting this part once it reaches 3K posts but I am still pretty far away from that. The next part of the branding that would to come to be was via the Tumblr account.

Greetings my fine friends out there in the readership audience. I’m here once more to take a pause from the usual course of business to celebrate a website birthday. Believe it or not, today marks the fourth anniversary of the Ken Pierce Media brand and while much of the past year has been a steady as they go operation, there have been some additional efforts that help keep this angle growing and becoming a larger and more important piece of the creative puzzle. Before I continue along, let me share something with the newer visitors to the site since they might not know about it only being created and launched back in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The lockdown and absence of pretty much all activity found me not only working in earnest on older site items for PiercingMetal and “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” but also looking to deliver some good content via another means. The initial goal was to generate some consultancy money by helping others with their own blogs and sites and the other side was to help grow the other two sites under my creative command. It began as a simple Blogspot, then subsumed our long-standing PiercingMetal Tumblr and finally became the WordPress site that you are now reading. Now you are all caught up and on we go. When I wrap this all up I’ll share a few of the topical articles about the whole thing for the interested. Let’s continue along shall we…

Ken Pierce Media’s Cross-Brand Year End Overview For 2023

Leave a comment

Well my friends we have once again arrived at the closing of another year and as I’ve done in the past its time to share some thoughts and give those in the readership a glimpse into the overall creative process on our family of websites. Depending on how long you’ve been following our work, you might recall the times when there was a seperate narrative for both PiercingMetal and Piercing Ken but once I had the Ken Pierce Media site, I decided to place them all into one post. I was hesitant about that at first but now after a couple of years doing it in this fashion I have to say that I prefer it. The 2023 Year was very busy on all sides and as a content creator who’s tasked with doing so many different things for the sake of entertainment I certainly had my hands full. Now we can get onto the business at hand and since PiercingMetal was the first website I’ll be keeping to beginning with that one and so on. As was done in the past I will also discuss each outlets social media standing and share which countries were the top site visitors.
