Bloggerversary!
On June 1st, 2006 I penned my first post. It was a pretty anticlimactic beginning. I had spent days choosing the template and thinking wondrous thoughts and anticipating my June 1 starting date — and when the time came, I had nothing to say. (I know some of you are boggled by that thought.)
My first post:
My Own Blog
Today I decided I would start my own blog. All week long while thinking about this I had a dozen or so witty things to say. Now here I am and my mind is blank. Blank. Blank. Blank. Sigh. These are the things that make up the typical days in my life.
The comments:
Terrace said…
YAY! Hopefully another helpless blog addict is on her wayDoug said…
I’m curious. Had you blogged before and this is the first that’s yours or are you new to blogging?QuillDancer said…
New — new, new, new, new, new — doesn’t it show?
I had been reading Terrace’s blog for years (still do) and she is essentially responsible for me starting my own blog — the pusher who began my addiction, as she clearly admits! And Doug holds the distinction of being the first stranger to comment on my blog. I am glad to claim him now as friend.
Also, my first blog was on Blogspot. The title was, “A Day in The Life,” and I had my template custom made. It’s still up. Pop on over and take a look. Oh how times change! LOL!
O’Ceallaigh & The Quill
Wow… I only BARELY remember that blog… but I remember some of the POSTS!!! That should count for something! I wasn’t a regular with you yet back then…. Happy Bloggiversary Quilly!
Melli’s last blog post..ATrash Can Garden . . .
I really liked that template. Sigh
Happy bloggerversary!!
It’s funny. As many blogs as I’ve started, I still have problems with that first initial post.
Lisa’s last blog post..Hearts and Lace
How to begin is almost always a problem with creative ventures.
Happy Blogoversary!! I think the template of the old one is cute!
I do actually keep a running list of post ideas — I jot them down to hopefully develop later — for those times I sit down at the computer and raw a blank. Sometimes I draw from that list — sometimes I forget it’s there. Some of the thoughts listed there have been there for a long time without getting any further, but some have developed into blog posts.
I;m glad you’re here on the blogosphere, and may you have many more blogoversaries!
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Preaching personalities
Barb — I really liked that template. It was my Las Vegas garden.
Congrats. Were there stinky feet on that blog as well?
Click on the link and go look! It is VERY different from this.
oh yeah…i coudl do that…and take the gas mask off as well I’m sure of it
Thom’s last blog post..What Pet Are You Like?, a Train Video for a Friend, and a 90 year old Couple
Quilly,
I feel like such a bad blogger–so out of the loop. I guessed bear on tap right away but was waaaaaayyy to late. You host such a fun blog here. Thank you so much for the kind words a few posts back. I felt like I was reading one of those blurbs on the back of a paperback book where one author says nice things about another author. I mean this….You made my day.
By the way, our trip to Hawai’i was wonderful. We were only on the big Island but it was wonderful.
tom k’s last blog post..Unsettled Chapter 26 "Under Jim’s Blanket"
Tom — ah yes, but you aren’t the typical ‘net jetting blogger. You’re here to write, not to visit.
Happy Blggaversary.. May you suffer the addiction for many years to come.
That was a cute template. My old blogspot blog was bought by people who ended up doing nothing with it and now it is a disaster.
I could sell my free blogspot blog? How?!
That was misleading.
Actually I couldn’t sell it as it didn’t belong to me technically, so when they apporached me with the offer I arranged the donation to “women for women”, and once that occurred and I was notified, they got the blog.
You’ve come a long way baby! I’m flying *high* to support your “habit.”
You make me laugh so hard many times, I snort (and thank goodness, none of you hear me make that sound.) This addiction is a safe one and one I enjoy sharing with you. You know I’m a blog fan of yours.
Happiest of Blogaversaries & best wishes for many more to come! BTW, I also began on blogspot, a few years earlier than you and due to a “pusher”, but I deleted that blog instead of exporting it. I retained its records, though. It is interesting to look back!
Off to see your old blog.
Hey Lynne — welcome back to blogland. I am too “stuck” on myself and cannot bear the thought of deteting a single thing!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary/Bloggerversary! I really do hope there are many more to come.
Capsun (@exbor)’s last blog post..AQ McElrath: You can do it…will you?
Capsun — thanks! So do I! And I hope you’re around for all of them!
Happy Anniversary/Bloggerversary Quilly you are a Grand Friend and a fun blog to visit.
Bill’s last blog post..The Color Lilac
Thanks, Bill. You’ve been around since almost the beginning!
Happy bloggerversary Quilly! I popped over to your quondam blog, a little different but still so much you! I’m glad I met you, always an inspiring read!
Jientje’s last blog post..Time for an Award … How About Two? Twice?
Jientje — sigh that was my Vegas garden and I loved it there.
Happy anniversary! You know, I do not even know my blogging anniversary date. You have prompted me to go look. I know it has been more than a year. I peeked at your old template and it was very cute! I like to change things up a bit every now and then too. Seems we get bored with the same old thing day in and day out!
Church Lady’s last blog post..Mini Hamburger Cookies
CL — I will probably never have anything that ornate again, but it suited me at the time.
Fond memories. Still kind of new, new, new, new.
Alas, my blog will always be younger than yours.
Happy Belated Anniversary. Glad you started.
Nessa’s last blog post..A Quick Note
Nessa — you joined my peeps very early in my blogging career, too. I am glad you’ve stuck with me!
Happy Belated Bloggeversary.
Cherie — thanks!
Happy belated blogoversary. The congrats are well deserved.
Anthony North’s last blog post..TONY ON FREE SPEECH
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary, it’s good to still have you here.

Happy Blogoversary! Three years is a long way to go. Wishing you even more precious moments to write about. I love your Blogger template as well
Rosidah Abidin’s last blog post..A Thousand Words In Idioms: K and L
I must have found you in the early days of that blog, since I started blogging in April of the same year.
Happy blogiversary!
