Well, after two and a half years of blogging, I have reached 500 posts on my blog. When I started writing this blog, I really didn't know what to expect. Well, actually, what I thought was all I had to do was start writing and people would flock to my blog. I mean, that is how the internet works right? Well, I was wrong. For really the first year and a half, nobody but a couple of family members read my blog. I even tired commenting on some other people's blogs to try to get some people to visit, but nothing. Eventually things turned around and I have the readership I have now. Sure, I have nowhere near the amount of comments that a lot of other people I read have, but I have what I consider a good amount of readers.
Branching out has also allowed me to read some great blogs and even greater bloggers. You all keep me very interested and I look forward to all of your posts. I try to comment on almost every post you all do just to show that I appreciate what you do. An extra special thanks has to go out to Val as she was the very first fellow blogger to take an interest in my blog and become a consistant reader. Now, there are so many of you and I could say something good about each and ever one of you.
Another thanks has to go out to my wife and MrVideoGuy for being guest contributors. The have kept the blog going in the times when I didn't feel much like writing. My wife with her great work stories and MrVideoGuy with his almost always deep views on life have given this blog a change of pace that is sometimes needed.
So what do I have in store for the blog now? Probably not too many changes right now. I like the direction the blog is going. The daily themes have inspired me keep writing as I never feel like I am lacking in what to write. I am not much for daily updates on my life as I usually find that kind of stuff boring. Even in "real life", if someone asks what I did for the day, I reply, "not much." I'm not much for details. That is probably why my posts are generally shorter than most of yours.
So, I guess that's it. Post #500 is over and it is now time to start thinking of the next 500. Keep coming by, tell your friends, pull up a chair, and stay a while. Drinks are on me.....
