to every season turn turn - one year of scilib blogging

Well, not quite one year, but close enough - the initiating event for this blog was Internet Librarian 2004, which I posted about (giving a list of bloggers) on November 20, 2004.  The postings had actually been created the week before, but migrated here after I realized it made sense to separate work blogging out into its own space.

I started blogging in general in 2001, but it wasn't until IL2004 that I found I had a bunch of content related to work, and a community of Internet Librarians to share my information with.  It has been an interesting experience over the past year, interacting with a very welcoming community of information professionals.

I started out just doing the "blogging as better bookmarking" thing, but then with tools like Furl it seemed to make sense to move that activity off the main blog, and to refocus on more in-depth commentary or specialized information that I can provide.  It makes for much more challenging content creation, but it has turned out to be invaluable for the technology exploration and strategizing I need to do for work anyway.

Anyway, thanks to all my readers, commenters and trackbackers for making it an interesting year of weaving a piece of the library web.
