idealawg is looking forward to this next year of blogging. As someone told me when I became a blogger, "Your life will never be the same." How right he was. Thanks.
Note (added March 28, 2007, 8:33 PM Mountain): Christine Kane recently celebrated her blog's first year by posting "18 Stupid Mistakes Bloggers Make in their First Year". (I learned of her post at Working Solo's hosting of Carnival of Entrepreneurs 16th Edition.) Kane begins her post about 18 first-year mistakes:
I’m no longer a blogling. I have matured. Pretty soon my blog will need Botox. Or Viagra. Or both.
I’ve learned more this year about websites, blogs and the internet than I ever thought I’d want to learn. Lots of what I’ve learned, I’ve learned through my mistakes. Some of what I’ve learned, I’ve learned from other people’s mistakes.
Congrats on your first "birthday", Stephanie, and keep up the good work!
-Roger

Happy Birthday to you, Stephanie...One never looked so good. And I am honored to be considered one of the 'benefits' of your blogging experience.
I hope you will continue to keep us well informed in your naturally 'positive' way.

Happy birthday Stephanie! If had know that it was your blogs 1st birthday I would have included that in the Carnival of Entrepreneurs. I might just go back in today and add a note anyway.
Make sure you celebrate!
