Today marks a successful first year of blogging here at elliotswan.com. I’ve had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and I’m definitely looking forward to its future. Some stuff that’s been accomplished in the last year:

  • There have been 223 posts and 704 comments.
  • It’s gone through two designs, the latest of which was featured on CSS Mania and placed 35th in 774 sites that redesigned for the CSS reboot, landing on the first page when ordered by descending score.
  • For a few months was a member of a great little blog network, Random Shapes.
  • Was accepted into the 4th round at 9rules. Details still pending.
  • I met a lot of great people (and saw a couple of you for the first time at Webvisions last week).
  • Had a heckuva lot of fun, and learned a lot.

Thanks to all my readers who have helped make this such a great experience, I couldn’t have done it without all of you. If you’ve been reading since the beginning, for a few months, a few weeks, or even just started today, why not drop a comment and say “hi”? Never a better time to introduce yourself than now.

And as for the next year, I’m sure it will be bigger and better than this last one. So, I’d like to take this opportunity to ask you folks, the readers: If you could see anything happen to or appear on this blog in the next year, what would that be? swan
