2,000th Blog Post

Written by

Back in January of 2007 I took the blogging plunge and put up a quick Inaugural Blog Post on WordPress. I started out strong posting several times in the first few weeks, but then gave up on it. Then, 18 months later, on July 20, 2009, I wrote Rethink PowerPoint Presentations with BBP, and that was the start of writing a post every day.

My inspiration for doing a post per day came from AVC.com. After seeing Fred Wilson’s content pop up on a regular basis, and reading his About page, I thought to myself “I want to do that!” Well, I started the daily post and haven’t looked back.

Writing one short blog post per day is such a great way to share ideas, document best practices, and get feedback from smart people. Now, it’s been over five years of writing daily and today marks my 2,000th post. Thank you to everyone for your help and here’s to 2,000 more posts.

Congratulations! I really enjoy reading your thoughtful, honest, informative posts. As a 30-year veteran of start-ups, I appreciate the time and energy it takes to do the work at hand, and to layer this personal blog commitment on top of every day’s “to do” list – you are very generous with your experiences and perspectives. Do you get to take one day off now? 😉
