The DazzlinDonna Blog Celebrates Its First Year
Tweet
Wow, the first birthday of this blog almost snuck right past me. I was checking out the past entries for another reason yesterday, and noticed that the first entry was almost exactly one year ago. But as fate would have it, I noticed, and so today, we celebrate the first birthday of this blog.
I guess I should go ahead and give a slight history of the blog. It started because I didn’t have a place to post non-SEO-related thoughts. I’d been blogging regularly for a couple of years on my SEO Scoop blog, but was frustrated by being cornered into one topic there. So, I decided a personal blog would make sense to have. Thus, this blog began as a “personal thoughts” blog where I could just be silly or post about anything really.
Eventually, that changed as well. More and more people started asking me how I make a living. Friends and relatives wanted to understand the concepts, and some were even wondering if they could do the same. That’s when the focus on this blog changed. I decided to start documenting what I do – and how I do it – so that everyone who wanted to know, could easily find out. So that’s what I’ve been trying to do for the better part of this year. I hope I’ve managed to help some of you understand what it is I do, and I hope some of you have put the information to good use.
I apologize for not organizing some big celebratory bash or contest, but the whole event snuck up on me. Still, I probably wouldn’t have done much more than this anyway, because this blog is a small fish in a large pond. A big party would have seemed a little silly. So to you … thank you for coming around over the last year. Hope to see you all lots more. Have a little piece of cake today to help me celebrate, ok?

Congratulations, Donna! I enjoy your blog and look forward to more great information.
I can’t tell when this post was written, but I really like the reflection on how the blog evolved. This is actually the 2 year anniversary of my blog with its current domain name and hosting, and I wonder what I should do to celebrate.
I do like milestone posts. They’re a good time to take stock.
Anyway, I’m sure this is late, but congrats!

You’re only late by a few years, ashok, but that’s ok. Understandable since there’s no way to tell.
Thanks for the congrats, nevertheless!
Congrats on your blog’s birthday as well. The terrible twos! LOL. Celebrate by shaking things up. I’ll let you decide how.
