Happy Blogoversary to Me [to me!]

I made it! Today marks the official one year anniversary of the day I starting tapping my fingers until little thoughts starting pouring out all over my tiny chunk of cyberspace.

Instead of “celebrating” with a “what’s happened as I’ve grown as a blogger and a person” post [that will come next week sometime], I’m going to give a shout out to an amazing project going on in the blogosphere that proves why blogging is an engaging and addictive medium.

Chuck Westbrook, a blogger I’ve admired for some time, wrote a post a couple of weeks ago featuring his “big idea.” The big idea? Helping a community of people find little-known blogs with great content, and fostering this community through forums, comments, and advice.

This week, Chuck introduced us to Zoë Westhof and her blog, Essential Prose. After reading her interview and a few of her posts, I quickly added her to my Google Reader. Not only is Zoe a talented writer, she’s incredibly honest and real – something I’m always looking for when searching for new content to read.

So, celebrate my blogoversary with me by checking out Chuck’s project and Zoe’s blog. You won’t be sorry you did.
