Yeah, how old are we today, blog-wise? Anyway, serious congrats, and it has been a total pleasure and a real and honest learning experience learning something new on a regular basis.
I started doing the blog back on 2/16/2008. So I guess that makes it 7 years now. I used to hang out at Vox's and comment several times a day as well as at several other Ilk blogs. Vox made it look easy. Eventually I started the blog as a way to vent my own ideas and to force myself to write as a method of improving my writing. Back then I was working for myself and I could waste time during the day by checking in a lot and arguing on the internet. It was a fun daily diversion. In those days I had a lot more traffic because I was out commenting on several blogs each day. As much as I questioned the workability of the various different comment tools back then, I have to admit I liked them better than the sign in required method we have today.
Congratulations! How old is the blog?

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Arch.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, man. But your date is slightly off -- your first post, dated 2/16/2006.
ReplyDeleteUnless I hit a time warp....?
Either way, Congrats!
Isn't today 2/16?
ReplyDeleteThe year, my friend. You wrote "2008".
ReplyDelete"Slightly" was tongue-in-cheek -- it's actually off by two years.
Gotcha. I guess that makes it 9 years.
ReplyDeleteNo way it has been that long. Cant be.
