3 Year Blogiversary

Three years ago, I wanted to make a comment on my sister’s blog, but her site was locked down so only WordPress users could comment. So I signed up for an account and suddenly I found myself staring at a blaring blank page labeled, “This is your new blog.”

Well I could just let it remain empty, now could I? So I did a post. It was riveting. Brace yourself– ORA-01722 with ODP and Command Parameters.

And the comment that started it all? It was equally riveting:

Even though it turns out my technical posts by far draw the most views (All five of my most popular five posts have to do with programming) and even though those posts have saved my rump more than once (two weeks ago I referred to three of my own JavaScript posts), they aren’t my favorites. I tend to fancy the ones with connections between two different objects or concepts, ones that compare and contrast or reveal a pattern. I also seem to fondly remember the posts that have to do with poo.

So, after 3 years, 823 posts and a little over 380,000 views, here are a few of my personal favorites:

	Snubbed McAfee’s Knob Pose!		Fern Fronds and Fiddles
	Crap to Iraq		Silo Trees of the U.S.
	Malcolm X, Prison…and Moss		Something the Thru Hikers Miss
	Poop in the Woods Club		Koosh Balls in Nature!
	Hitchcock and Stem Cell Research		Hungry Trees

I do have to say, I rather enjoy blogging. It appears I owe my sister a pretty hefty thank you.

Thank you, Carolyn!
