Happy WordPress-i-versary to me!
It’s been 7 years since I started a blog on WordPress.
This was my first ever post.
This was my second ever post.
I was a little old 19 year old back then, I had a very messy bedroom and fancied myself quite… well I don’t know. I remember feeling happy and comfortable in my skin and rather excited about life – I think it was because I had just met my husband-to-be and that was a Very Exciting Time.
It was better than being 18 and being manipulated by a psychopath but that’s another story.
I am now 26, and look back on those times wistfully. They were simpler times. I am glad to have lived them.
In seven years I have moved 5 times, got married, had a baby with another on the way, had six jobs, travelled 10 times, lost a lot of friends, gained some very special friends, and jolly well grew up.
I did not write a book, although do have three or four in various stages of being written.
I still love this blog, and blogging, and I don’t anticipate that I will stop blogging for a while.
It’s not a long time, 7 years, but a lot can happen in 7 years.
How long have you been blogging for?
Congrats on your anniversary! I myself love to go back in time and read my old blog posts to see how I’ve grown as a writer. A lot can change in seven years indeed. I remember wishing I’d finish a book when I started my blog, and now I actually did.
I’m wishing the same for you too. Here’s to many more blogging years to come!

Thank you! And you’re so right, seeing old blog posts is eye-opening isn’t it. I am glad you finished your book, that’s a great achievement and something your younger blog-self would be very proud if, methinks. Happy blogging, and thank you for sharing your thoughts 😀

Lenora, there is so much on On Frank Angle about my thoughts and blogging I wouldn’t know where to start in answering your question. However, here’s a link to a post that says a lot. However, it is part of the series (the others are linked at the end), and it is based on an earlier pst (that I link in the intro) https://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/on-writing-for-blogs/

Congrats on the 7 years, and all that has happened in those years! I hit 7 years a couple of weeks ago (my first post was on 11/11/2013) – funny that we started at the same time.

Wow, Diana, I thought you were blogging for so much longer! You’re so good at it, I guess I never learned the tech-y side very well haha. I have been following you for about 5 of those seven plus years 😀 You’re part of what I love about this blogging community. Many thanks for your well wishes, I wish you the same 🙂 ❤
