Happy Blogiversary

I’ve been blogging for exactly one year. October 21st marks the date of my very first blog post

There have been one two posts recently around the “why do i blog theme” from Susanne Danesy, Darren Strange and Steve Clayton

Reading these was very timely as I’ve been reflecting about the previous years blogging

It originally started as an outlet for some of the random technical thoughts i have, to give me something to look back on if I’ve fixed some random problem (like a person knowledge base) and hopefully help anyone in the same situation

As the year went on my focus changed as i started learn about the Small Business Specialist Community. I’ve tried to make my contribution and in turn it has enabled me to meet some great people and hopefully the next year will be even more useful

I’ve benefited hugely on a personal level and a professional level and have learnt lots from the people i have met (virtually and in person) and this wouldn’t have been possible if i hadn’t randomly thought “I’ll give this blogging thing a go”

So thanks to everyone I’ve interacted with over the last twelve months, i appreciate it!

If you read this blog and have never communicated with me please drop me an email on andy@andyparkes.co.uk. I’d love to hear from you at the start of my second blogging year
