My second blogiversary

Posted by Chris

Today is the second anniversary of my first ever blog post, on my old blog, Junius . John Holbo reflected the other day on how things have changed in blogging since: my first few posts engaged with people like Lileks and Reynolds and, indeed, it was the discovery of Instapundit that set me off doing this stuff. It has been an interesting and rewarding couple of years, and I’ve met people, read people, gone places and done things that I would never have done but for blogging. Roll on another 12 months!

Well done! Two years is a long time in this game. I’ve been assured the third year is the hardest, which I am finding to be true. Maybe I should move into a group blog where others can take up my slack too…

Chris,
I started reading Junius only a month or so after you began writing it. I found it then (as I find CT now) the right sort of alternative to Instapundit’s (often) hasty, careless, harebrained, rude, and anti-intellectual postings. Even when I disagree with you, you made me think hard and, more importantly, carefully about the substance of that disagreement. The same is true of the others on CT. Thank you!
