One year ago today, I launched this blog. The first post was dated September 23, 2005, and it was simply a welcome post. Little did I realize that 303 posts and countless comments later, this thing would still be around. There’s a comment on the weekly blog roundup on Civil War Interactive this week that indicates that the CWI folks believe my blog draws more comments than all of the other Civil War blogs combined. I don’t know if that’s true, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if it was.
If it is true, it’s quite a tribute to you, my readers. Without you, this would just be my place to rant. There’s certainly a value to a good rant–there are times when I need to get something off my chest–but without all of you and the interaction we have here, this wouldn’t be half the fun that it is. Thank you to everyone who has made my little corner of the Internet a regular stop and who have helped to make this blog what it is.
And until I run out of things to rant about, this blog will go on…..

Eric, — Congratulations on your one-year blogiversary. I’ve enjoyed your blog and as you know it was one of the reasons why I started mine. Wow…November is right around the corner. I am still in the planning stages for one-year, but it will include party favorites.
“And until I run out of things to rant about, this blog will go on…”
So in other words, this thing will be around for a long…
long…
LONG time 🙂
Congrats, pard. (And where do those years go?!?)
J.D.
Thanks, Kevin. I really appreciate it. It’s been fun, and it’s also been good therapy for me.
Eric
JD,
LOL. You know me too well. 🙂

Eric,
A congratulatory high-five from Motown! Checking out your blog has become a daily and most enjoyable part of my morning news and coffee. Most of all, I’ve learned any number of things about the war that I never knew before. Best wishes for year #2.
Paul
Congrats Eric. We all have benefited from your efforts and look forward to the coming year. Keep them coming!
