Happy Birthday, Kirkbride Buildings Blog!

Happy Birthday Kirkbride Buildings Blog
Happy Birthday, Blog! Here’s a poorly drawn cake for you! Yes, amazingly, it’s been a whole year since I started writing here on a regular basis. The first post was on December 19th, 2007. Even though I half expected to run out of ideas and news to report after a month or so, we’ve somehow made it through an entire year without any major lapses in post frequency. I know I’ve been bad about posting lately, but hopefully that will end after the holidays.

There are now over 130 posts and over 280 comments collected here. I think that’s added a lot of information to the site and has also contibuted to the growth of traffic. Kirkbride Buildings has seen more action in the past year than it did in any of the previous six or so years it’s been online. Thank you all for reading and especially for commenting. It’s always nice to get a little feedback and it helps keep me motivated to continue. That said, I can’t promise this will last another year, but I hope it will.

    Well, congradulations! I’ve personally really enjoyed the blog. Also, that is a very cool, and probably the worlds fist Kirkbride cake!

    Thanks, WSH. I wouldn’t be surpised if you hold the post of top commenter here and I appreciate that. Maybe I’ll actually try to figure out who the top commenters are…
