Today I started a new blog for fiction from my photos. I have just recently had a notification with a cup which I hadn’t seen before. When I opened it, I found a wreath with a W in it. Apparently it was five years ago today that I started my first blog with WordPress. That was “Mondrak’s Blog”.
So it was a Happy Anniversary from WordPress

Happy Anniversary, my friend !
Thank you Cristi
Congratulations.
Thank you ๐
Happy Anniversary Alastair, with many more to come!
Thank you ๐ It took me surprise.
Mine is 1 year this coming Tuesday, but I started my FB page for what became the blog a year and a half ago. Congratulations!
Thank you ๐

I’m almost at 2 years. Five…are computers, rather blogs and blogging that old?
Congratulations!!!!!
๐ That’s just with WordPress. I found my very first ever post the other day. It was nearly nine years ago
I tried something called Live Journal but I didn’t like it so it’s gone. Emptied and defunct. I was involved with another community for about two years, but they evolved and got rid of the ‘community part’. I was also on this other site which I still have an account with, but it isn’t a blog, it is a book exchange type community. Now that must be about 7-9 years…?
I was with Blogspot – google blogger – and still am. Then I went to AOL live journal but they shut that down so I looked for something else and found WordPress .. oh yes that was it. My friend Bowch – http://www.bowch.co.uk – you needed a typepad or wordpress to sign up so I signed up to WordPress and had a go. ๐
Change is inevitable. I might not be the first one at your new place tomorrow. But I’ll be there. Perhaps later in my afternoon or evening.
Because it’s already tomorrow here, I’ve scheduled it to post in just under an hour. So I really should be asleep now.
Happy WP Blogiversary x5 Alastair!
Thanks Rosy ๐
congratulations dear, Happy Anniversary! Love, nia
Thanks Nia ๐
Wow that is nice, they don’t forget you! did you get apiece of cake as well?
5 years is a long time, I haven’t even done one yet! ๐
25,000 and not one year??? WOW!!! That’s incredible. In 2011 on this blog, I had a total of 711 views hehe.
Maybe I’ll eat one of the kids’ chocolate eggs to celebrate .. ๐
Haha go for it! ๐ cheeky
Nine years blogging is some achievement! Good luck for another nine at least! ๐
Thank you ๐
[ Laughs ] You forgot all about your 5th blogging anniversary.
Congratulations on a job well done!
Thanks Renard. After deleting the last blog, I didn’t have a track of when it started. Five years with WordPress and 2012 is when it all started. ๐
5 years of blogging… that is impressive that you keep up with it. Great job, congrats!
It’s nine years this year, actually blogging, but five with WordPress ๐
