No big birthday celebration.  But the passing of one year since I started my blog is a giant step.  Below are my monthly stats for 2008.  Pretty much all uphill, except for April.  I spent that month in the hospital without a single post.  After my first month of blogging, my wife said “I don’t think this blog thing is such a good idea”.  Today I reminded her of that comment. Her response?  “I still don’t think it’s such a good idea.”Turnip stats

Here is my first post from one year ago.  If you check the link, you see it still points to “hello-world”.  I added the Bluehost affiliate link in tonight.  When I wrote the post I didn’t know what an affiliate link was yet.  Seems I had no idea what I was getting into at the time, and maybe I still don’t.  My blog certainly hasn’t stopped evolving.  WordPress, Social Networking, and Internet Marketing.  One form or another, I’m sure all three will make their appearance in the coming year.  Changes come and go.  I’ve met some friends along the way, and left some friends behind. 

For those who stop by and read my blog on occasion, I thank you all.
