It’s a year since I started this blog with a post about Austin Grossman’s novel. I’ve made 250 posts and gotten 530 comments, and according to WordPress been visited about 35,000 times.
I’m glad I decided to do it. It doesn’t take a lot of time and it helps me remember small thoughts I’d otherwise have forgotten. None of my colleagues have expressed any disapproval — in fact, many have started blogs of their own over the last year.
The best piece of blogging advice I got was from David, who said that if I wanted to keep a semi-regular blog going I had to remember that “bloggable” is a very low bar to clear. As you may have noticed, I’ve held to that religiously.
Congrats! Time goes fast, doesn’t it?
greetings from the middle east! more to come! your Israeli fans discussed your blog about CJ and the dog over friday dinner. all agreed it was a very good one.
Congrats! And always, always appreciated. Still one of my favorite reviews.
I’m glad you decided to start a blog. BTW, we have the exact same number of posts now, only my two year blogiversary is any day now — or maybe I missed it?
Hmm. Maybe I should remember my own advice more…
(Then again, I always have twitter…)
Congratulations!
