BFN’s First Birthday!
Woohoo! BFN celebrated its one-year anniversary last week. Well, I say “celebrated” but no one actually celebrated anything (and there was not a gift anywhere in sight!). In fact, I actually missed the date. I happened to be thinking late last week “hey, when did I do my first post last year?”
The very first BFN post hit the internet on July 26, 2008. That wasn’t a very exciting post – the first “real” post, about caviar, came out the next day. Hopefully you’ll agree that the posts that followed over the next 12 months contained a lot more useful and interesting information!
So much has happened since those first few posts. Since then I’ve made a number of friends through my blogging activities, I’ve started up some web-related business ventures with a friend (though we’re still trying to hit that home run!), I’ve published 125 posts, had 66,000 visitors, 105,000 page views, learned a TON of stuff, and hopefully helped a few people. Phew, it has been quite a year!
Some of my early inspirations were sites such as ChristianPF, The Simple Dollar, The Happy Rock, and Bible Money Matters. There are so many great sites out there that I’ve come across over the past 12+ months…that has been probably the most profitable side effect of getting involved with personal finance blogging.
Thanks so much for your faithful reading. It doesn’t do much good to be writing if no one is reading! I do so much appreciate everyone visiting, reading, commenting (especially), putting me in their RSS reader, and helping BFN to grow over the past year. Please drop me a line on the contact page if you have any questions or general comments or suggestions for topics you’d like to see covered.
Things are a lot different now than they were a year ago and I’m sure they will be much, much different another year from now…who knows where this all will lead, but I’m looking forward to the adventure
God bless and have a great year(?)…
