Celebrating 1000 Posts on TypePad

April 1st, 2014 will be a day to remember as I am typing right now my 1000th post on TypePad. When I published my first post on September 11, 2004, I had no idea how to blog and I could certainly not imagine that one day I'd publish 1000 posts! Naturally, in ten years or so, this is definitely not a big number, but the truth is that it took me some time to figure out how TypePad really worked and what blogging really was.

In the first couple of years, I'd spend more time visiting other blogs and exploring TypePad Knowledge Base than writing and posting. And when I finally felt confident enough to start posting more often, I wished I had more free time to do so. I've always had a passion for writing. Even before the advent of the Internet in our lives and homes , I kept a diary  regularly which I decided to move to TypePad when I signed up with them in September 2004. So my first posts were a kind of diary in which I wrote about my day, my feelings, my pains and pleasures.

I'm well aware that this is only a drop in the ocean compared to the contribution of  great bloggers, but I'm glad  so many people read my posts today and I feel grateful for your comments. Blogging with TypePad for almost ten years now, has been a wonderful journey and a unique experience.

Thank you so much. I hope the best for your blog. You know, all it takes is a passion for writing. And TypePad provides the tools.

Thank you, Kofla. When I retire, I'll certainly post at least once a day!

Thanx 😀 I'm going to keep up with my writing 😀

[Agnes]

Oh my, congratulations!
You write really well and I can tell you enjoy writing so in a way a 1,000 posts is not surprising at all :-)

[Stefania]

Congratulations, Anastasia! I really enjoy reading your posts - it's a great practice for my English too and you write so well. I am looking forward to more of your wonderful posts.

[Anastasia]

This is what you should do, Clare. In the course of time, you will see your audience grow and believe me, this is very rewarding. Just be yourself!

[Anastasia]

That's true. If I had more free time, I'd certainly blog more often.

[Anastasia]

Thank you, Stefania!

Hiya. Where do you get your smilies from? I'm using my iPad and would love more smilies that the app I have. Just wondering where you get them from?

[Anastasia]

This is where I get them from

Congratulations, Anastasia. I realize when we met it was on Yahoo 360. I had never blogged before and had no idea about the topics on which I would write. I began writing in response to your blogs, then got brave enough to publish my own blogs, and my poetry.... and you were very generous with your comments. You, Lakis, Constantine, and Stefania helped me get started. I love writing and was saddened when yahoo closed its site. I was thrilled to have you tell me about Typepad but really didn't write much. Now that I am retired, I write but basically for myself. I need to re-establish myself now that I have time to write. I miss all the comments but I know that is my fault since I did not spend much time on Typepad. I doubt I will ever reach 1000 posts and I am very proud of you...especially the one about our weekend in Cyprus. :) Congratulations to you! And thank you for getting me started with blogging.

Faith, you were the first to leave a comment on my TypePad blog and you were the first to support me in everything I do - online or offline. So I owe much of this success to your support. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
