I’ve had this post in draft for a while and kept forgetting to finish it. Since it was my birthday this weekend it seems right to be a bit more reflective.
Three years and 75 days ago I published my first blog post on here. I wrote about it recently and the anxiety that goes along with posts that if anyone will a) read your post and b) comment. I’m sure I’m not alone in agonizing over hitting publish with that first post.
Play Activities started off as a site that offered free play activities via a newsletter. My web designer suggested I start a blog to go with it. Being the savvy lady she is we started from the beginning with WordPress and a beautiful html site. Getting the site up and organised took a lot longer than I had anticipated. I had no idea how long this process took and how much it would cost. I kept putting off the start date because I was waiting on some big news…… Where we would be moving?
Starting a new site and moving countries I would not recommend to anyone to do at the same time. We did it but it was hard work. Not to mention stressful because Mr. Playactivities was retraining ( military) in a different state and we were moving to live with his family for a time in a new country. Lots of anxiety for everyone. So maybe it took a little longer than usual to get my stride.
2010 will be another bumper year of change. More about this another time.
In the 3 years I have been actively online so many changes have happened from the evolution of Facebook and Twitter to Vlogging, podcasting and community sites and clubs. Many friends have come and gone. Families and life changes and we go in different directions.
Highlights of the last 3 years
Posting from 2 to 3 and then for a time 5 days a week.
