First of all, I had just clicked "Publish" on my very first post and had no idea how blogging really worked. Second, I had the weird feeling most new bloggers get that somehow the post was going to float around in cyberspace forever and never be read.
But, most of all, I had no idea that what I was posting about would interest anyone but me...or that I knew enough about mid-century design to be able to keep a blog going.
Thanks to all my readers, the regular and the occasional, I'm not only celebrating my birthday today, but I'm also celebrating 500,000 hits. That may not be a big deal to the sites that get 500,000 in a single day, but it's a big deal to me, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your loyalty and support. I couldn't have asked for a nicer gift! So I'll give a little back to you...
Cheers to you on this double celebration, Dana!!!

ReplyDeleteI too would like to chime in and wish you a very Happy Birthday and a congrats on your posts! Although not in your league with followers or hits on the blog, I can appreciate how someone with a passion for mid century can attract quite a few on-line followers. My blog is a bit more centered on Heywood-Wakefield furniture and refinsihing, but I still love all Mid-Mod stuff and love posting anything relevant! Keep up all your great posts and I will be a long time follower!!
