Blogaversary

Well, today’s my one year. When I started MGK last February the DC area was buried in snow and I really had no idea how any of this would turn out: what I would say, who might read, whether the blog would last. 228 entries (and 400-something comments) later I can easily say it’s been time and keystrokes well spent.

Relax, I’m not going to bore anyone with long-winded reflections; but blogging’s brought new friends (and some old friendships renewed), new colleagues, new networks, and new ideas.

Things have been a little quiet around here lately—a lot of my blogging time is going into my course blogs, which folks are welcome to peruse—but in the mean time know that I appreciate anyone who’s ever taken the time to read something I wrote, let alone left a comment or a ping. Thanks, and here’s to 365 more days of blogging!

Hey, congrats!

Why, it seems only yesterday that your blog was just a knee-high little tyke.

Congratulations on a year in/of blogging.

Now is it an "anniversary"?
Now is it a "birthday"?
Now is it a "blogiversary"?

Or as you put it in the rubric to the entry: a "blogaversary"?

Vowel run through.... Bloga, Bloge, Blogi, Blogo, Blogu, .. Blag Bleg Blig Blog Blug... <<-- that is an interesting search string --- very interesting if it gets adopted as a salutation for marking blogger accomplishments! A string equivalent of a high five.

Congrats and All the Best!
