I’ve been blogging here for a year now. It has become a real passion and I am extremely grateful for the people who visit often, provide feedback and share their thoughts in the comments section.
My first post was April 8, 2008. I got the courage to start this blog after reading blogs like Community Spark and Community Guy. I admired Martin and Jake from afar and they unknowingly influenced me to start this blog.
I’ve compiled a list of some of my early posts, (when I was likely the only reader) for your reading pleasure. If you’re a regular, I hope you like the direction of the blog and I’d love to hear from you if you have suggestions, would like to guest blog or if you’d like me to write about a specific topic.
Thanks for being here. I appreciate your time more than you could possibly know!
- The value of knowing your members
- When the community is up in arms
- The human condition: An easy road to engagement
- When moderating comments, diversity matters

Thanks for the mention, Angela – it is flattering to hear that in some small way I helped inspire you to start this blog.
I love reading your insights and hands-on stories. It has also been great watching your writing style become increasingly confident over the course of a year.
Keep up the great work!
PS – Don’t listen to Patrick; I am not that crazy (anymore)!

PS – Is it just me, or does this post not appear on the front page of the blog? I only found it by clicking on the recent comments links?

Phyllis: Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you feel there is valuable content here. Now that I have one year under my belt, I’m ready to ramp it up a bit. Stay tuned. And thanks for all the work you did putting together my book website earlier this year.
