Happy Blogiversary To Me

Welcome to Joe Cool's blog, it seems to me everyone is doing it so I said to myself "self" why don't you have one yet. So here I am trying to find out the "hows" and "whys" of doing a blog. It seems like it could be fun while trying to make it interesting and appealing to anybody and everybody that may read what I post. As I go on I will rely on your input and requests to lure you back into this blog time and time again. So don't be shy and feel free to comment as much as you want, I want to hear from you.

The above was my very first post five years ago today.

So today is my blog's Five Year Anniversary! Yey, happy blogiversary to me. When you think about it five years is a long time and at some level my blog is still going strong. I am well over the 900 posts but still short of the 1000, but that milestone will be broken soon.

I don't have hundreds of readers but the few I do have became really good friends and I wouldn't change that for the world. Many of the readers that started with me five years ago are still around but many have moved on and some blogs became victims of Facebook, but either there or here we are still in contact, and in many cases in both places.

So, here is my invitation to keep coming back and let's shoot for anniversary number six.

Love ya all!

Happy Anniversary To My Blog!

Wow! So who would have guessed that when I started blogging back in June of 2006 I would last this long? It's hard to believe but yes, this is my fourth blogiversary and even though I don't blog daily I say I still keep this pretty alive. This particular post is marking my 800th post, that definitely is a lot of writing and lots of information.

While I have touched on many subjects I try to keep away from controversy, I believe that negativity really won't take us anywhere so I prefer to remain as positive as I can be. What better way to achieve that than by concentrating on my friends and my family. Yeah, family, what can be more positive than that?

I will probably continue to post tidbits of my family life which is what this blog seems to gravitate around, and will try to keep it fresh or at least as fresh as I can and move forward into the fifth year, let's just see how far I can take this.

I am sure there will be lots more pictures to come, so stay tuned for that and as always I am open to suggestions and new ideas.
