Happy Birthday, Freethought Blogs!

That’s right, one year ago today, we went live. And promptly crashed. And soon overloaded our server, and were frustratingly slow… and replaced equipment, and got better.

And got bigger. From an initial five bloggers, we now have some 36 blogs, some with multiple contributors or guest bloggers. I’ve found more new must-reads than I have time to read, and my world has expanded, in terms of topics, in terms of issues, in terms of geographic and political boundaries. I thank all of my fellow bloggers, and wish all of us much continued success.

And I just noticed. I have averaged just under one new verse of some sort a day. Some days with none (or with a re-run), but some days with two or three. I don’t have time at the moment, but now I have to go see which were my favorites.

So thank you, all of you, my readers, commenters, fellow bloggers, and especially Ed and PZ. And many happy returns!
