One year of blogging!


It was on this day, a year ago, that I was sat in front of the computer thinking 'what do I write in my first ever post?' One year on and inspiration has left me yet again...
All I can say is that I've had real fun telling you all what I think about the genre and meeting loads of cool folk at the same time. Hopefully there's another year left in this at least! ;o)
Happy Birthday to me!

Wow, Graeme, I wouldn't have thought your blog was so young! Your reviews are so good and thoughtful I took your for a more experienced long tem blogger like Pat or Larry.

It took me two years to finally settle on a subject for my blog, but like you I have enjoyed meeting new folks and sharing my love of the genre.

Congrats on one year!

Congrats! :)

Yours was one of the ones that made me go "oooh, that's very cool, and he's new, too; maybe I can try" :D

I hope the world doesn't hold you responsible for that?! ;)

It's strange both how fast it can go and how long it seems (we've) been at this. Heck my blog's only been around a bit over 2 years.

Congrats, Graeme! Keep up the good work!

Man, three years old and I'm already considered "old school!";-)

Congrats on that first year!

Congratulations! I read somewhere the average blog lasts 40-some odd days, so in "blog years" you're actually 9.125 years old, without adjusting for the leap year (I'm such a nerd some times).

Anyhow, thanks for a great review site :)

Congrats Graeme!

I've still got a few more months before I hit my 1 year milestone, but I certainly look forward to what the next 365 days will bring from you!

Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday! I just started reading your blog recently and it's great. Keep up the awesome work.

Congratulations!

Sara, I had no idea about that blog statistic, but it makes sense considering the number of dead blogs I keep finding in my blogroll.

Congrats, really! I make John's words mine: I had no clue it was such a young blog, your reviews being so well written and stuff. I've gotten some pretty good tips from both you and Chris. Thanks a lot!

Well done Graeme! It seems such a short time since you sent me that fateful email asking about books. I'm really pleased to see how far you've come - keep it up!

Congrats Graeme! Our blogs are almost the same age :) I started mine in March as well, though around the first of the month...

Congrats for the one year and I hope you stay for a long while too. Nice posts every time.
