2025 In Review: Status of the Blog

So, I've already discussed some of the highlights in social media areas enjoyed by Section 36 in 2025.


But, what about just generally? How did the blog perform in 2025 at just being a blog? How did I do as a blogger? As a collector? I'm not going to pretend you actually care...but what else am I supposed to post about on New Year's Eve?

I'll just say it right now. Not good. Not good AT ALL. Like, absolutely terrible. In 2025 this will be my 22nd post, down from an equally disappointing 42 last year. At less than twice a month, that's nowhere close to where I need to be. Nowhere close to where I want to be.

One reason for the dropoff was the lack of interviews with Miss America titleholders. They were really dominating this site, so I shifted their features over to the Forevers blog, where they belong. Of course, that means even fewer posts automatically coming to this blog.

The Section 36 store also had a great year. I switched it back to TeePublic, and that seems to have helped. More people keep buying shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, and whatever else. I'm always humbled whenever a sale goes through. Hopefully you've enjoyed all the pictures people have sent in wearing their gear. With any luck, both sales and picture submittals will increase in 2026!

2025 was also a continuation of my blogging perspective to help me find my voice or my place in this wide world. I still didn't write about the team itself as much as I would have liked. Hopefully I'll be able to find my groove in 2026.

Hope that's OK with you.
