Has It Really Been a Year?
This blog started with a fire command.
That first post ended as follows:
Well, let’s just see how it goes.
And how has Target Centermass gone? Well, I’ve obviously found it rewarding enough to stick with it past my initial personal goal of a three-month trial. It’s been satisfying enough to leave behind Blogspot and actually fork over some money (twice, actually) for a domain to keep up my little self-indulgence.
Traffic-wise, TCm hasn’t been an overnight success — or even an overyear success, for that matter. Still, I consider it a success to date, if only for the interaction with and attention I’ve enjoyed receiving from other bloggers I respect. It’s been a fun ride that I think I’ll continue for a while; thanks, John, Phil, Eric, JohnL, Chad, Alan, Scott, Raven, GuyS, and Damian (I reserve the right to update this list to catch anybody I’ve overlooked). Seriously, thanks. Y’all have made this a pleasure.
Thanks again to the inspirations that got me blogging:
In summation, happy blogiversary to me. What’s next?
Well, let’s just see how it goes.

Congrats on your anniversary! Judging by what SCOTUS did yesterday, you should have plenty to start the *new year* off with….we live I am quite afraid, in interesting times…and all that old chinese curse implies.

Congrats. Blogging for most is never about traffic; it’s about being able to have a sounding board other than the walls and frieds/family who get annoyed.

Other Stuff
Gunner, at Target Centermass, has been blogging for a year and has some thoughts on it. He is in the top 300 on TTLB, so I’d say that’s reasonably successful. Not all of us can be Instapundits. I have to…
