News From Doswell Celebrates Third Anniversary!

January 3, 2012 marks the third anniversary of News From Doswell, named “The funniest blog in Doswell” for the third consecutive year.

Early News From Doswell Staff.
From its humble start January 3, 2009 with 2 daily page views, the blog has now mushroomed in size, garnering billions -- no, trillions -- of daily page views, almost tripling its readership (except for that one entry in 2010 that had a single page view), kicking major butt of all those other bloggers in the Richmond area. 

News from Doswell started that cold January day set in hot lead on a Colossus PC that sat comfortably atop a railroad flatcar out front of the Doswell Quarry. From the loins of that inauspicious beginning sprang a staff of 72 technicians, engineers, medical professionals, editors, proofreaders, flunkies, hangers-on, excess baggage, dead weight and loiterers, all who toiled tirelessly sometimes 8 hours a day, 4 or 5 days a week to bring the latest happenings of the Doswell area to demanding readers, who refused to stop being demanding, and clogged our email and voice mails with suggestions, tips and complaints, but mostly complaints.
