SBC Voices traces it’s humble beginnings back to a blogger site in June 2007. We moved to the current address in 2008. Times have changed, technology has improved, but we’re still here talking about all things Southern Baptist.
The stats dashboard says we’ve had something like 6.5 million page views (not counting blog authors). We’ve released 3,727 posts and they have earned 168,598 comments (not counting spam). That’s an average of 45 comments per post over the last 9 years. There aren’t many blog communities with that kind of activity — all credit to the readers who keep things interesting. It’s their “voices” that make this site worth reading.
Here’s a look at the top 9 posts from those first 9 years. I’d suggest loading them on a desktop, with so many comments they will be very slow on a smartphone.
