1 Year on...Wahoo!

Ok it has been over one year that I created my very first blog post...Wahoo!

I have got to give a big shout out to Phil Kirkham for encouraging me to start...Thanks Phil!

I want to also give a big shout out to all those you have read my blog, following or commented it's much appreciated...

A big shout out to the STC ...(love ya peeps)...who put me on the testing feed...

I made a tester carnival!...let's partayyy...lets all do the conga...hey! (thanks Simon, thanks for the comments aswell...skype session????) Is it a full moon yet?

Abe Heward talked about his experience starting his blog and the 'large and vibrant testing community' and John Stevenson talked about his experiences starting his blog and the online community. Mine echoes their experiences...the online test community is awesome!!!

One thing is definately for sure, I've learned a lot through blogging, this was one of my primary goals when starting. Try and write down what I do (or think I do, or figure out what I do), good or bad, and try and learn from it, can I do things 'better'?

I have found out some people are doing some great things, have been doing similar things and doing them better and I think that can only be good for me. Some of the comments have really made me think /re-think what I'm doing again I think this can only be good.

I think some people have also been on the same wavelength aswell...(a brucey bonus)

It's been a busy but exciting year, did I mention busy?... (wow I so need a extra weekday...anyone want to give me an extra weekday?...oh please...please,please,please)

One other thing, don't mention a r&b star in the title of any blog post, your blog will appear in the first page of a google search for that star...whoops...I think I appeared in some bump and grind search...mega whoops!

I have got lots of posts that I want to get out, I am struggling with a few but I want to try and focus on my experiences (they seem to be the ones that take the longest to do)....I think I may have an example of threads...

What have you learned through blogging? How vibrant is the testing community?


Party over for now...

    and thank you for the mention :o)

    I must say your comments about what you have gained from the online community is very similar to myself.

    My concern now is trying to think of exciting new blogs to post - is there is a term called bloggers block yet? If not I am going to claim it...... :o)

    Keep up the great work Peter I for one enjoy your posts.
