It’s a happy day today here in sugarenia.com.
Just before a year, I’ve started this tiny blog, aiming to take on things like web standards, accessibility and cyberculture.
Today, after a whole year, I feel a lot more experienced, even if this blog hasn’t (yet) managed to change the Internet world. Who cares about that, to be frank. This little thing makes me learn and that’s what counts.
No, I don’t blog to get paid, even though there are some ads around here. I see bloggers everywhere bragging about their monthly blog income and I think I live in another world: I didn’t make this place to get money. Alas, I did. And no, I don’t refer to that 100$ check I received from Google Ads this summer…
Let’s make a tiny rewind and count the blessings that this blog has offered me during this first year:
- Motivation and experience on web standards, accessibility and usability issues.
- Some great great people that helped me so much, even if they’re oblivious of it.
- A great new job which satisfies me and makes me learn. At last.
- A huge daily blogroll that I check as often as I can, always learning about new stuff.
- A columnist position in the greek edition of PC Magazine.
- Above all, this blog strengthened my notion to become a professional web designer. And I’m grateful for that.
Happy Birthday, my blog. Things were easier than I have expected, and for that I’m thankful.
