Following Edge

Today is my first "blogiversary". A year ago today, I made my first entry here. I think it's been a success. Although blogging is at least as hard as I anticipated, requiring sometimes a great deal of effort to take the time to post, I think it's accomplished what I had hoped... giving me a place to record the happenings of my life for posterity, and to keep in touch with my family and co-workers. I've made over 180 entries in the last year, which almost exactly matches my goal to post once every two days.

I would still like to change things a bit. Not in the way that David likes to change things a bit, having gone through a dozen reincarnations and redesigns and software changes of his blog in less than a year. I was thinking more about changing to a mix of very brief entries about things that catch my attention with longer entries once a week. Currently, nearly every entry is an extended essay. It lets me hit the major points, but often smaller things are missed. But, the problem is that I have a lot to say on almost everything, so it's harder than you might imagine for me to write briefly. Maybe I'll work on it and see if I succeeded by looking back again next year.

Thanks sincerely to all of you who drop in to read these entries. Sometimes, in relation to my health trouble and unfortunate events (like my just-ended vacation), it's not always pleasant to read. But, I appreciate that you're following along and I appreciate all of the kind or helpful comments you leave.

Happy Blogiversary!
