Four Years

Four Years.  Yesterday, or possibly tomorrow, marks four years that I’ve been blogging. 1,357 published posts, 45 additional in draft form (apparently it’s time to do some housekeeping) for a grand total of 1,402 posts.

The reason I’m a little fuzzy on the actual date is because I’ve had September 8th stuck in my head as the date I started (and celebrated it on that date each year), but looking back at my old posts, it appears that the first ones were on September 6, 2008.  No matter, it’s basically now.

Time flies by, doesn’t it?  Usually I celebrate my Blogiversary with a giveaway, but it snuck up on me this year and I’m totally unprepared for a celebration.  But since I always celebrate with you all for my birthday in a few months, I’ll just combine them instead.  Especially since the next birthday is a doozy.  Not that I’ll tell you what the doozy is.  Just trust that it is.

I started off at Blogger (aka Blogspot) as Stacy’s Random Thoughts and morphed over to WordPress (that was a headache-and-a-half) and changed the name to Stacy Uncorked.  Though you’ll note that the URL never changed, because all this time later I’ve still never figured out how to fix it so my feeds wouldn’t be broken with the new URL, so I just keep paying for both. 

So here we are, four years later.  Pretty amazing, no?  And, in an effort to try not to be as wordy as I usually am, let’s move on to this week’s question, shall we?

How long have you been blogging?

Have a great weekend.

.

Happy Aloha Friday!

From Kailani at An Island Life:
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!

Congratulations on 4 years!!!! I am coming up to my 3rd blogiversary. And like you, I really don’t know what date to actually celebrate. I also did not change my blog URL when I recently had a makeover and made a slight change in the name.

4 1/2 years for me – I began in February 2008. Lots of the friends I made through blogging those first couple of years have sadly stopped, but some of us are still plugging along, aren’t we? I think I’m going to do a huge giveaway for my fifth blogiversary; I just have to figure out what it will be.

Duh…I’m still calling you Random.
I have no idea how long. Actually, I’m thinking of moving Harriet back to Blogger since I am not posting on it as much.

Have a great weekend!

Wow, 4 years, CONGRATULATIONS. That’s quite an accomplishment. I’ve been blogging for under 3 months and I hope I make it to 4 months! I’ve published 31 posts. All these numbers sound so puny now! Wishing you many more great years out here in the blogosphere. What a great community!

Happy Blogoversary! We’ve been blogging nearly the same amount of time, though I totally missed my anniversary this year.

Wordpress is a bit of a headache. I lost most of my followers when I moved.

I have a post on one of my (now inactive) blogs from 9/13/2001, but I was writing and publishing stuff on the Web from back in the 1990s.

How time flies!
