It’s been two years since this blog was born.
Happy birthday, little blog!
The quantity of posts has not rocked the blogosphere, but oh well. I like knowing it is here to record my writings when I do get the chance. Lately, I have been pulled in other directions (again). For a long time, I have been blogging elsewhere. When I finish work and then other blogging and then other tasks, well, it doesn’t leave much time for my personal writing.
Where have I been blogging?
Over at webgrrls.dk. And the STC AccessAbility SIG blog.
I started twittering in early November for the STC AccessAbility SIG. I got so hooked that about a week later, I started twittering on my own.
My love of WordPress had me say yes to help get the STC Europe SIG site up and running on a WordPress installation. That got hairy! We had to do a domain transfer and ISP transfer, and even though things were friendly all around, those things take time. To top things off, I launched that site just as WordPress 2.7 came out. Something went wonky, and the back-end looks horrendous. Might be a missing file. I must get that fixed ASAP so others in the SIG group can also post entries, and so I can move beyond the standard theme. But…
In the meantime, my computer started behaving badly. Perhaps it was old age. I don’t know. After gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands, old faithful had to go. Not before a little mind-meld to get the data transferred to…. my new iMac. Yes, I have crossed over – some will say to the dark side. I say to a new adventure. My husband still has his PC, so there is plenty to drive this geek crazy.
With the holiday season in full swing and time off work, I expect to catch up on many overdue tasks, such as my work with STC (where I am SIG Advocate and more) and my ongoing dust-bunny battle. As well as tweeting and blogging somewhere – but hopefully more frequently here. I do have notes from recent activities that I need to blog, but right now, I just wanted to send a birthday greeting here before I head for the kitchen and some nice hot chocolate! 🙂
Congratulations and many happy returns. As one of your colleagues in the STC SIG Leaders group and the STC Europe SIG management team, I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication as a volunteer for the STC. People like you are the life-blood of membership organisations and we all know how lucky we are to have you as a colleague. Congratulations to you and your blog, and long may we all benefit from your wise words, thoughtful insight and generous contributions of time and effort!
Congratulations Karen! Mine turns one in about a week…
David, Rhonda – you are both very sweet to stop by with your congratulations! I wish I could offer you some cake – because I’d really like some sweets right now. Oh well, I should have planned my shopping more carefully. 🙂
I finally got the problem with the backend of the STC Europe SIG blog cleared up so I feel a bit more deserving of your kind words, David. It was starting to haunt me!
The great thing about STC is that I get to know very talented people like you two!
