Seven years, 3,395 posts, 27,286 comments… It’s been quite a ride since I started blogging here seven years ago today<\/a>. The blog has been a terrific way to share<\/a> ideas<\/a>, engage with<\/a> customers<\/a>, wrestle<\/a> tough<\/a> issues<\/a>, and occasionally start<\/a> (well-intentioned<\/a>) trouble<\/a>. Thanks so much for reading, writing, and even ranting. I couldn’t do it, and wouldn’t do it, without you.
\nHave I learned anything interesting along the way? Nothing too profound, I think: Love it, or don’t bother faking. Respect your readers’ time & attention, rewarding steady visits while omitting anything you wouldn’t want to read. Be loyal to them & they just might return the favor. Don’t try to be a kamikaze<\/a> social media hero<\/a> over weekends & holidays, unless you absolutely must. Remember that your writing, even your comments, lives forever, and someday someone (let’s say a lawyer) might present you with an inch-thick printout (flattering!). Like I say, you’d better love it. But remember, too, how insanely lucky we are to have the time & tools to connect like this, and hopefully to illuminate one another’s lives just a bit.
\nThanks again, and please keep those cards & letters coming<\/a>,
\nJ.
