It almost slipped by without noticing it. By coincidence, I just saw it today: Our weblog on “dimrost.nl” was in October 10 years old! On 26 October 2007 the first article on this weblog was posted. And now we are more as 10 years further.
I remember well how at first the weblog was titled “Life is there to live again”. But at a certain moment I made the conclusion that I am living my life fully again, so the title was outdated. With some other titles in between, we ended up with “The Fellowship of Friends”. The name was based on the idea that during our holiday with our friends on Lesvos and we were walking along mountain slopes towards that high mountain and someone remarked that we were as the Fellowship of the Ring. And after I opened my weblog for my friends to write here, that was the perfect name for our weblog.
Looking back over some of the articles I wrote over those 10 years, it feels like a diary without really private stuff. But very good to bring many memories from over the years.
Oh, fun fact: The 3 most used keywords that leaded to our weblog?
- Kruidenbitter (herbal bitter)
- Sexmuseum (in Amsterdam)
- Lucifera (a soft erotic comic from seventies)
Why am I not surprised? Oh yes, most searches came from the countries where they “should” not come from *wink*
I have many plans for our weblog. First thing planned is bringing the weblog to SSL, which will make it all more secure. But there are more (fun) things coming.
Well, up to the next 10 years! And special thanks to Marissa, Richard, Miranda, Jennifer, Sanne, Patricia and Marion, who all made this weblog even so much better, specially the last year. Thank you all!
10 Years is really a very long time and yes, all the nice memories in all those articles. I am very happy to be part of this all.
Yes, 10 years! It is always a pleasure to read back those older articles. They a lot about you and the people you care about.
And just as Marion I am happy to part of this, “uncle” Rob :-).
