My Google Calendar reminded me of something today.
3 years ago today I officially started my blogging adventure.
Stranger in a Strange Land 1.0.
Although back then, it was hosted elsewhere and looked a good deal different (I’m not sure what happened to the old header).
You may notice there are posts older than April 30, 2005 – have no fear – those were added after I started my blog so I could have some record of the columns I wrote for the Belton Journal and Harker Heights Evening Star. You might also find an old Xanga account out there that I tried briefly and I even tried building my own “blog” from scratch but that was taken down ages ago – after I found out all about CMS.
It’s been a great ride so far. The feedback has been great – well most of it :-).
Through writing my blog and reading others I’ve met some great friends like Thomas. I’ve connected with old friends like Chad. I’ve gotten a better insight into the lives of some very close friends. And I’ve even gained a better insight and understanding of my wife.
And hopefully you’ve each learned something more about me as well. Hopefully you’ve been able to see more of what makes me me. While my posts may not always be personal in nature – they are personal to me. They are things that make me think, influence me and challenge me.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the ride so far and hope you continue reading. Thanks!
