Ta-Da! Austin Daily Photo is One Year Old

Yep. We started this blog on May 17, 2007. FFP had seen Eric's PDP and some others and decided we should do one for our fair city. Someone had run a blog for Austin (here) and then given up the prior November. We settled on using blogger and the http://austintexasdailyphoto.blogspot.com/ URL to distinguish us from those quitters. (Just kidding. I don't know why anyone does this for no remuneration. Don't know why I do it!) Of course, the Texas distinguishes us from Austin, Minnesota, too but, really when most people hear 'Austin' do they think of other states? I'm just saying. And digressing.

Anyway, we have now posted 366 times (it was a leap year) and today's birthday post is 367. It shows our backyard trumpeter blowing a fanfare accompanied by the rest of the backyard band. (You can see the French horn player in the background.)

  2. Well done on reaching a year of continuous posting, its a great achievement.

    There are some ways of monetizing your blog if you do want to go down that path. You will never make mad cash but you may buy a new camera or something :-)
