    Thank you, Jeanne. I appreciate your being such a loyal member of the community here.

    Gosh, at the rate I got to 400 (a little over 2 years) that’s another 20 years of blogging! I hope I’ll be physically and mentally able to keep blogging that long.

  6. Lillie says:

    Thank you, Helen. I’m having fun here, and I’m delighted that you enjoy my blog.

    Lillie – snap. My post 400 goes up tomorrow, so you’ve pipped me to the post.

    400 posts is a fab achievement isn’t it. Milestones like this really make you feel like you’re getting somewhere.

  10. Lillie says:

    Cath,
    Amazing that we’re so close together in the number of posts. Congratulations on reaching the 400-post milestone. That’s a lot of words we’ve written!

    How long have you been blogging? I don’t see an archives so it’s hard to tell. It seems I have been reading your blog for a year or so.

  11. Lillie says:

    Amaterashu,
    Of course all my posts are unique … and brilliant. :-) Well maybe not brilliant, but they are unique.

  12. Robert Hruzek says:

    Congratulations, Lillie! Keep ‘em comin’! Hey, you’re blog is just barely older than the Zone – June 22.

    Cheers!

    Robert,

    The summer of ’06 was good for the blogosphere. Several more of my favorite blogs started around the same time—all brilliant and creative just like ours. :-)

  14. Suz says:

    CONGRATULATION! (of course I just got here, but still..) Loving the blog so far, congratulations on the big milestone.

  15. Brian Armstrong says:

    Congrats. Most of us blog-fade before the first 10 posts. That’s awesome. Keep it up!

  16. Lillie says:

    Suz,
    Thanks! If you just got here, you have a lot of reading in the archives to catch up with 400 posts. :-)

  17. Lillie says:

    Brian,
    You’re right that a lot of bloggers don’t last long. However, this blog is fun for me—it’s a chance to write what I want to write rather than what clients need.

  18. I’m proud to be part of your thriving community, Lillie!

  19. Lillie says:

    Thank you, Jeanne. I’m proud to have you in my community.

  20. congrats on your long term blogging!!!

    i imagine 95% of all blogs started aren’t even updated once a month!

    i know cause I’ve had like 10 blogs and i only update 2 of them!

    CONGRATS!

  21. Lillie says:

    Ahh … but you update 2 of 10 blogs. I update 1 of 1. Actually that’s not quite true. I have a Blogger blog just because I have to sign in with Blogger to comment. Periodically I update the Blogger blog with links to some of the posts here. But it’s not really a blog—just a way to connect any clicks that might come from comments on Blogger to this blog.

    Wow!! 400, that’s fabulous!

  23. Lillie says:

    Thanks, lionheart. I’ve enjoyed writing them.

  24. Congratulations!! I do enjoyed reading your article so much. All the best for future.

    Thank you for the good wishes.

  26. Congrats!! 400 posts is a lot of posting, and I can tell you put a good deal of thought into them :)

  27. Lillie says:

    Thanks! It’s hard to believe I’ve written so much … and you’re right I do put a lot of thought into posts.

    wilson,

    I’m sorry I haven’t read them all yet but I will in time. I have enjoyed your community and blogs. Congratulations on 400!

  31. Lillie says:

    Thanks, Bonnie. I hope you think all 400 are worth reading. :-)

  32. Congratulations.Waiting to see the 500th very soon.Thanks.

  33. Lillie says:

    Thanks! It will probably take a six months or so for me to write the next 100 posts. I hope you’re here reading each one as I post it.

  34. Congratz! 400 great posts later and still receiving great content. Hopefully we can see when you do 800 and much more!

  35. Lillie says:

    You’ll have to keep coming here and reading for the next couple of years …

  36. Shanker Bakshi says:

    Congrats – on completing 400 Post. Great achievement indeed.

    Shanker Bakshi,
    Thank you for the congratulations. I hope you’ll come back often.

  38. 1967 Camaro says:

    400 posts is certainly an accomplishment. I’ve done various blogs over the years and I usually don’t break the 100 post mark, let alone the 400 post mark. You truly have the makings of a remarkable blog on your hands. Don’t stop. Go to 500, then 1,000. You can do it!

  39. Lillie says:

    Thank you! I am amazed that I have written 400 posts … and many of my posts are longer than average. That’s a lot of words!

  40. kouji says:

    that’s so cool. :) as a blogger whose blogs haven’t been around for even a month, i find it impressive that you’ve been writing for 2 years already. :O

    kouji,
    You’re off to a good start. Some bloggers don’t make it past the first two or three posts. Keep plugging along and suddenly you’ll be surprised at how far you’ve come.
