Happy Birthday to OFTLOS! It’s our one year Blogiversary!

WOW, has it really been one year already? I feel like it was just yesterday that I had been assigned to blog for a week as one of my first homework assignments in grad school. I didn’t even KNOW what a blog was at the time. What is this strange thing? What am I supposed to write? What am I supposed to put on it? I spent the whole first day just researching what a blog was and what different ones looked like. Before I knew it, I was hooked.
Now I’ll admit, sometimes I don’t write as often as I should. Life happens, or my brain gets fried. But I could never give up on blogging.
It’s been a long road too. I started with iWeb, which was a great place for a beginner. Not knowing much about networking and PR, I switched to Blogger thinking that maybe community had something to do with. After a few months, I realized I wanted more out of this. I wanted the ability to expand into a full website (which I still intend to do!), so I switched to Wordpress.com. Somehow, it still wasn’t exactly what I wanted. I wanted more freedom, and so I made the switch to self-hosted Wordpress.org this summer.
So now here we are, at one year. 133 posts. 173 comments. Clearly, I need to make an effort to writing more. As for you, my dear readers, I would like for you to make an effort to comment more. I’ve had the priviledge of getting to know many other wonderful bloggers, but I know next to nothing of my readers. Are you regular readers? Who are you? What interests you? What do you like?
