Three and counting…What’s in store for year four?
Oct 17th, 2009 by Cathy Nelson
It’s a silly celebration, but my blog is beginning it’s fourth year today. My first post was about the first K12 Online Conference in 2006, and I have for whatever reason stuck with it. I’ve tried out a few student blogs as well, but I fear making a blog “schooly” or just another hoop for kids to jump through, so I can’t say they have been raving successes. Yes, I’ve even looked at renaming it, but I sorta like the brand. I have moved it around though, from its original location on Blogger, to the Edublogs platform, and then finally to my own domain. Thank Chris Craft for the assistance in setting up my page here on my own domain. Thanks Sue Waters for great advice when I needed it.
Blogging has definitely broadened my thinking and caused me to hone my skills at reflective practice. I’ve been afforded a couple of recognitions as well, which you can read about by clicking the “about” link at the top of the blog page.
So for my gift to myself, I did a Wordle on the comments. I think Wordle is just looking at the first page of the blog, but that’s okay. I like the focus, don’t you? I’m focusing on my readers who are generous enough to give back by commenting. Thanks y’all!

Cathy,
I just got back home from a quick trip and saw this posting. Happy Birthday/Anniversary to your blog!
Your offerings are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us!
Congrats Cathy,
For my 3rd year blogiversary, I had some fun and awarded myself a PhB, a Blogtorate of Philosophy. It is amazing how I often find myself thinking in blog posts and constructing ideas as if I were going to write about them, (some I do and some I don’t), the point being that blogging has had a profound affect on me as both an educator and a learner.
Enjoy your 4th year, and we will enjoy it too!
Dave.
THANKS!! And also thanks on the heads up that comment feature is having issues. Perhaps its time to upgrade, which I tend to sit on to see if bugs are worked out.
