Blogoversary, Ho!

One year ago, I made this first post.

It's been a great year since, due mainly to the wonderful community of the WeboComicsBlogoNet. Through comments and posts, blogs that initially seem isolated islands are anything but. In honesty, I didn't expect I would make it a full year. It's the community that keeps me coming back. I'm having a great time, and it's thanks to a list of people far too long to name .... thanks, all of you, for making this fun.

In celebration, I'm going to do a little revamping. A big change to the unwieldy blogroll and some other minor tweaks (though I can't imagine the site in another template). So the site might act a touch odd for a day or two.

The biggest content change is giving up on my aversion to capsule reviews. I pulled ScatterThoughts out of the mothballs last week, and will go forward with that weekly. I've been trying this first year to only write substantive 300-500 word pieces, but lately I find myself with lots to say but without 200 words to pad around it. So I've been writing nothing about the comics I'm reading, and that's kinda contrary to the point of having this here ramblespace.

Thanks for reading, and I'll try my best in the next twelve months to write at least one worthwhile post!

I've enjoyed reading you blog for the past year ever since you first linked it over at OS. I'm looking forward to more of your ScatterThought posts as well.

Happy belated! You've been a fine addition to my blogroll.

As for the shorter reviews, I'm with you there. Waiting to write the longer ones is like waiting for the trade, half the time it just never happens.

Mark - Congrats on your 1st Year! You are one of the most entertaining writers that I have ever read... Not bloggers... Not internet writers.... Writers. I really enjoy your stuff and am proud to share bandwidth with your work on OS.

Good Luck on Year 2!!
