Blogging Milestones
Milestones are good things giving you a chance to both look backwards and think about the future.
I'm excited about my one year blogging anniversary milestone.
Like a bad Oscar speech there are people I would like to thank: firstly Russell, without first reading his blog and then coming to the Breakfast Club coffee mornings back in November 2006 I would never have had the inspriation/courage to begin blogging myself. It was also the network of smart people from all over the world that Russell linked me into via his blog that took me so pleasantly by surprise.
Couple of other blog Thank You shout outs - Faris, you were the best thing about working at Naked and the first person to leave a comment on this blog; Beeker, you were my first proper blog friend (and it took us months and months to meet up in person!); Kaitlyn, the Catch Up Lady, an American blogging friend that I will probably never meet in person, but I was so pleased for you when you got your big new job at Ogilvy PR in Washington DC and when you started the Ogilvy Blogger Code of Conduct I was really proud that we were blog friends; Neil at Only Dead Fish; David at Sixty Second View, Richard at Adliterate - the list goes on...
Blogging has helped me sharpen my thinking, connect with a diverse set of people and views and provided me with a continual flow of creative ideas from all around the world. It has been a fantastic year in so many ways, here's to 2008.
happy birthday, squashed tomatoes and stew etc to you amelia. delighted to have been your first blog friend.

Is it just me or was that year about 5 years long? Anyway well done, this is one of the great planning blogs, partly because there's such a great sense of the person who writes it. :J

Congrats! I remember on my 1st bday I was like, I can't believe I STILL have stufff to say here (though based on how much I talk I shouldn't be surprised!)
I too am glad that we connected, one of the best parts of blogging is connecting with like-minded people all over the world. And, we WILL meet one day! I'll be in London at some point, and you are one of two people I "know" - so you're high on the call list. :D
