On Sept 6, 2009, I gave birth to my blog. I had no idea as to what I was doing or even wanting to do, but like everything else, I grabbed my nose, held my breath and jumped in feet first. And just hoped I didn't hit too many rocks on the way down. And so far it's been a life saver for me.
From the first post I've learned a lot. Met a lot of wonderful people. And have become very close to many of them. I thank you for that.
I'm going to be doing a few changes to my blog, First and most important, I'm getting into a DSLR camera shortly. The point and shoot has limited me greatly on the pictures. So with the camera up grade, The pictures will improve and there will be more pictures, hopefully to motivate or excite everyone to do my recipes. That's the goal. To make the recipes easier to understand and follow. Secondly I'm wanting to set up a publishing of the post schedule. And stick to that if at all possible. This way, you know when to expect the recipes, or post. And thirdly, I'm going to have someone else proof read all the posts before I post them for spelling etc.

PS - I need a proofreader too... not so much for spelling errors, but I like to edit and re-edit, which always leads to errors. Embarrassing, but most bloggers ignore the occasional typo.
Thank you so much for the Birthday Wish. I feel like a proud parent sometimes. I never realized how important proof-reading was till I started looking back on some of my post.....
ReplyDeleteThank you again for the Birthday wish.

Happy Blog-i-versary Papa! I didn't realize that we started blogging in the same month and year, but yep, we did! Within 3 weeks of one another, with me behind you on September 25th. You're part of the Class of 2009 also! I am so happy we connected and I count you as one of the brightest blessings that blogging has brought me. In addition, this is the most enjoyable foody blog that I've run across. I tell everyone who is into foody stuff about you. Here's wishing you many more blog-i-versaries, Papa. I love you very much.

Mari, Thank you for the Birthday wish. Means alot. Oh I'm climbing the walls waiting on the camera, I went back to a Nikon. I used Nikon's back in the film days and they never failed me. So I went with that. I couldn't go the $7k route, so I went with an entry level to get going on the Dslr thing. And I plan on bending your ear about the camera and picking your brain on how to use it. Thank you for your support and your kindness. Take care, mike
