This is my 1000th post!!! And what a crazy ride it’s been getting here.
It started with me trying to find my place among a group of bloggers I respected and had learned so much from. In November 2005, I wrote 65 posts (a number I only topped 6 times in the last year and a half). That month I was learning all about blogs, RSS, wikis - yes, it has only been a year and a half that I’ve been paying attention to these technologies!
So - while trying to find a place in the biblioblogsphere I:
- Pissed off my peers (and apologized)
- Designed (well - wrote the code for - RayAna was the designer) a kick-ass intranet that everyone wants
- Pissed of a vendor (and refused to apologize)
- Got accepted into library school
- Got members of 5 libraries to attend a session on Koha (and got at least 3 of those libraries excited about the possibility of a great change)
- Got a new job
- And most importantly - Learned enough to write 1000 posts about!!!
Other blog stats (before hitting publish): “There are currently 999 posts and 845 comments, contained within 60 categories.”
Also, on a related note - I am going to catalog my blog tomorrow (or soon) in OCLC (with the help of Chris Schwartz - who got sidetracked with me today on looking at cataloging entries for popular blogs). This is very exciting for me - and will be a great way to learn about cataloging internet resources.
I wanted this post to be about something big & huge (like the number 1000) but I thought it’d be more fun to reminisce - so there you go - some links to my favorite posts and bits of info. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading - and here’s to 1000 more posts!
Congratulations on your 1000th post! I feel fortunate to be one of the people who has been around for all of them.
I’ve definitely enjoyed your first 1000 posts, and I’m looking forward to the next 1000 (oops, I guess it’s 998 now).
Keep up the good work Nicole!
Nicole, keep on keeping on!
I had no idea that blogs were being cataloged, although it makes perfect sense. Great news.
[...] ago I mentioned that I was going to put this blog into OCLC and by extension WorldCat. I didn’t want to [...]
