The improbable adventure of Ionarts began five years ago today. I thank all of the people, especially Jens, Mark, and Michael, who have put in a lot of time and work, without any real remuneration, to make Ionarts what it is. We thank all of you who read, comment, link to us, and have helped put Ionarts on the map.The state of the blog is good, very good, and we continue to gain ground in all of those things bloggers care about. Ionarts has continued this year as one of the Top 10 Classical Music Blogs, according to several rankings:
- Top 50 Classical Music Blogs, #4 (A. C. Douglas)
- Google Links, #3 (Scott Spiegelberg)
- Technorati Links, #9 (Scott Spiegelberg)
- Google Reader Subscriptions, #10 (Classical Convert)
- Bloglines Subscriptions, #6 (Classical Convert)
Let them eat cake!
