This post is a bit of a milestone – and one I almost missed in trying to balance a number of draft posts!

It’s my 1,000th post to Modemworld since I created this blog mid-2009 following my move from Blogger, where I’d been since the start of 2007.

When I started out, it wasn’t with the intent to become any form of commentator on SL – social commentary isn’t my Forté (as I’m sure many would agree!); my original blog was far more personal in nature. But the move to WordPress encouraged me to split things, and so Modemworld was born.

I don’t want to be particularly narcissistic and mark my 1,000th post by prattling on about the blog, but there are some things that I genuinely find humbling; such as having 283 people subscribe to it by e-mail, and having nigh-on 250,000 hits during the 12 months between August 1st 2011 and July 31st 2012 alone. These may not sound like big numbers to some, but for me, they really are staggering and represent a level of interest in the blog that amazes me.

As such, to everyone who takes the time and trouble to visit these pages and read my mental meanderings (typos and all ;-)), I’d like to say it really is appreciated and also say…

Thank you.
