Missed our own anniversary

The first item posted on this blog was February 27, 2005. So, we're about a week late noting our first anniversary. Since that first item -- which called for consideration of a merger of magazine organizations to create one big and effective lobby -- there have been more than 400 postings. When it first started, people asked two questions: Why? and What is there to say? I think the variety of information presented and comment made since then answers both questions.

Has it just been a year?

D.B., your blog has become a source for what's happening on all fronts of publishing.

It is a lot of work - finding things of interest that others might not notice and bringing them to light.

I also like the fact that you are not hiding behind anonimity and that you welcome open, honest debate.

I read your blog every day and use a lot of the information I find there.

Congratulations!

Congrats on your first anniversary, DB. As you know, blogs are like sea tortoises: although thousands are born every day, few see their first birthday. Please keep up the fine work!

Your blog keeps me connected to an industry that I've mostly grown out of, but still care much about. And your personal comments and asides add context and value that must be the envy of conventional news sites.

I hope this blog has brought you lots of new business by "cementing" your position as the Godfather of Canadian Magazines. Ciao!

I wish I knew - I might have run an ad in a first "anniversay issue". Perhaps for your 5th :)

Thanks for all that you do.

P.S. I'm still looking for an independent rep to work with me - the person I hired resigned because her husband was transferred to New York. Details about the position can be found here.

Bonne Anniversaire!
I echo all the comments. Your blog has become required reading. For me it's been a welcome connection to the goings on back home.
Thanks, D.B.
