Four Years, And Still Blogging!

Four years ago today, I wrote my first post and became a blogger. When I started, there were a handful of big blogs, like AMERICAblog, MyDD and Daily Kos, but the rest were just small Joes putting their points of view across, scouring the news, and trying to break stories. Then Ariana Huffington hit a home run with the Huffington Post, and a host of smaller blogs got bigger, like FireDogLake, The Carpetbagger (who thanks to Steve, featured my blog on Salon a few years back), Talking Points Memo, etc.

I think it was last year that Huffington Post received a $25 million dollar grant.

I have a full time job, and was not able to join the many that went into full-time blogging. I love to read the bigger blogs, and when I have something to say, politically, I'll say it.

Obama being elected was a high point in my life, politically, although I am less than pleased with the totality of his first 100 days. We are not out of the woods by a long shot, but at least things "feel" better than when the Bush Administration was at the helm.

I want to take this opportunity to thank my regular readers, and mention how proud I am to be a blogger, and part of the blogosphere and blogtopia! (yes, skippy coined that phrase!).
