The PiercingKen Blog Is Officially Five Years Old!

Leave a comment

It was five years ago today that I decided to temporarily take off the leather gloves and Heavy Metal bling to put together some posts that would showcase another side of my photographic and journalistic adventures. Yes my friends, today is the fifth anniversary of the PiercingKen.com blog and I can hardly believe it.

It’s sure been a blast for me to have this extension for the creative energies and to bring them to your computer screens and mobile devices for this long a time. Statistically speaking its doing pretty good as a site of this kind and has had a few hundred thousand visitors and served up about a million page views to date. Okay, so it does have some serious catching up to do against my PiercingMetal.com site but that’s alright. With the number of websites currently online at this point in history I am grateful for any time that you spend here.

I should stress that I’ve been using the official social networks for the site quite a bit so please come check us out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram because each of them expands upon the stuff you are seeing here on the site. I’ll close out now with a word of “Thanks” and “Stay Tuned” for the next stuff.

Marking A Decade Of PiercingMetal.com (2005-2015)

I just wanted to take a moment and let the readers of the PiercingKen.com site know that my music and pop culture website PiercingMetal.com is celebrating its 10th Anniversary today. To be quite honest I can hardly believe it because it really doesn’t feel like its been that long but indeed it has. I put up a quick narrative with some history and visuals on the website and you can check that out by clicking on the image below. If you’ve been supporting the site over the years I would love for you to comment in on the anniversary and ask that you do it on that post as opposed to here. The comments on this posting have been turned off so you cannot say it here anyway.

Thanks for all the support you’ve given to PiercingMetal and of course on this site as well; I will be back on this same channel with your regularly scheduled posting programs 🙂

Celebrating 9 Years Of PiercingMetal.com :)

Hey there my readers and those who just are chancing by and enjoying the offerings of this little website of mine. As you’ve seen me do in the past, every now and again I like to share what I am doing on the PiercingMetal website. Well it’s time for me to once again take a moment of your time to let you know that my music and photography site, PiercingMetal.com, has reached another birthday. Today is the ninth anniversary of that website and I am pretty amazed at how much its grown since I decided to launch it. For the newbie’s who don’t know much about it, I do reviews over there of Heavy Metal music, videos, concerts and books. There’s an occasional interview but not too many these days and I even have a side blog to it that I call “PiercingMetal Musings”. The blog is done in WordPress like “The Chronicles” but the main website is still being done in traditional HTML.

When this time of year rolls around, I like to toss some thoughts together about it all and the process involved. If any milestones were achieved across the year I like to talk about that as well. The interested reader can click HERE for that summary over on the PiercingMetal website. Also, I think this might be a good time to tell you that I have been testing a WordPress installation in a secure folder for the content of the main site. While I might be using that software for this site and the side blog for PM, the overall layout will need to be a little more focused and professional. So far so good but I am not yet ready to make that switch. I hope you come over to that website and click around for awhile because between the proper site and the side blog there is a little bit of everything for you to enjoy. Also, PiercingMetal utilizes all of the main Social Networks of the day so please give a “like” or “follow” to the official accounts that are linked below. If the adventures over there are of interest to you I’d sure love to have you engaging with me as I undertake more and more. I’ll see you soon back on this site with my next interesting adventure around the metropolis.

I wanted to take a moment of your time to let you know that my music and photography site, PiercingMetal.com, has reached its eighth anniversary today. I’m very proud of that particular domain and if not for my doing that website I would have never decided to launch this Lifestyle Blog as well. It’s on that website that you will find reviews of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music, video, books and concerts along with thousands of photographs. I even have a blog connected to it that I call “PiercingMetal Musings” and that is where I talk deeply about comic books, conventions and other things that interest me.

PiercingKen Blog Breaks The Sophomore Curse (or Welcome To Year 2)

Leave a comment

Hey there. I just wanted to take a quick commercial break from the regularly scheduled blogging to let you all know that the PiercingKen Blog has successfully hit the beginning of our second year. It’s exciting for me to say the least because I was still enjoying the feeling of accomplishment after recently celebrating seven years of PiercingMetal.com as a website and having its own blog hit five years shortly after that. When one considers how rapidly blogs and websites come and go nowadays thanks to things like Facebook Pages it’s always nice to have clocked in with another year of creative output.



I’ll admit to the readers that I really love having the PiercingKen Blog because it lets me do absolutely anything that I feel like tossing into the mix. Sometimes I will talk about music or past experiences in the field and sometimes I will do something with a more culinary flair and show you how to properly assemble a Vietnamese chicken noodle soup. PiercingKen is my catch all, but at the same time is a real day to day life observance through my eyes and will bring to your attention anything that I see that I feel like writing about or sharing with you. Some readers love it and there are others who, well, I really don’t care if they like it or not. Those folks can spend their time surfing around for other stuff that suits their fancy.

I’ve been going through so many photo folders to see what we have for upcoming posts and believe me there is a healthy amount of “travelog” kind of stuff to share with you along with whatever else happens to amuse me at the time. I might even scan some older photographs of places that I shot years ago and would like to explore as a creative today. Who knows. Just stay tuned by subscribing to our RSS Feed or adding our Official Facebook Page or Twitter. Thanks for making the past two years a lot of fun, I love keeping you entertained.
