Today would be the 4th anniversary of my political blog, She’s Right, if I were still blogging there. I really have no desire to get back into writing, reading, and thinking about politics 24/7, but I do miss the good old days when political blogging was fun. I really enjoyed the conversations and the friends I made at She’s Right.
Inspired by fellow Burlington blogger Haik Bedrosian, I started She’s Right on Feb. 17, 2006, with a post about the Burlington mayoral race. A week later, I started a craft blog. Though it has changed names a couple of times, I am still posting there.
Before Haik told me about his blog, I don’t even think I ever read a blog. After I started blogging, I started reading other political blogs, then craft blogs, then homeschooling blogs.
Over the past four years, I have made a lot of friends online through the different blogs I have kept and the ones I have read. It’s funny how one little e-mail that said, “Hey, check out my blog. It’s for Burlington pols like you,” started my love of blogging.
So, even though She’s Right is no more, I still consider today my blogging anniversary. It is a hobby that has literally changed my life. I have learned so much from all of the people I have met in the blogosphere.
