Hello Loyal Murlo Subscribers and followers!
Weโre tooting our own horn!!
We launched our website, Murlo.ca on October 6, 2020 after 10 years thinking it would be a good idea to start our own webpage.
It’s been a great adventure culminating into a very successful first year for Murlo. We had over 3,100 views and over 1000 visitors since we began.
What better way to spend our Pandemic time!
Our success is due to our nearly 1,600 subscribers and followers from around the world including five magazines. Thank you!
How Many More People See Us Online?
We simply don’t know.
There are untold number of eyes who see our posts through WordPress Reader and Facebook who are not direct Murlo subscribers and followers.
As a WordPress.Com subscriber, we have immediate access to WordPress Reader reaching millions of people each time a new post is released! Some quick facts from WordPress News:
- WordPress.com reaches 181 million monthly unique views โ the 4th most viewed platform in the US after Google, Facebook, and Yahoo.
- 409 million+ people view more than 21.3 billion pages each month.

Murlo Discovery Channel (YouTube)
We had an enjoyable, yet steep learning curve during the Summer of 2020 on how to best to shoot videos, edit on iMovies and eventually publish on our YouTube Channel, Murlo Discovery Channel. We became better editors in all aspects as we grew during our first year. We’re proud of the following:
– 19 videos published
– 100 minutes of video
– Over 926 views
– Looking forward: A video early 2022 will tell the story when my dad sat next to Elvis Presley on the train in 1957!

We had an unexpected video bonus just a few months into our first year. Murlo published a Mainprize Documentary 52 second video narrated by Saskatchewan born Hollywood actor, Kim Coates!
Kim kindly lent is voice to a script we provided to support the Mainprize Documentary, a Saskatchewan film. The Documentary Director & Co-Producer, Mr. Jack Hilkewich added photos to create an awesome video.
