Well here it is, post #100! Congratulations to you, my faithful readers, subscribers, contributors, and those who've encouraged me to keep this up. Without your support this would be nothing more than a bunch of electrons and brainwaves sitting by themselves in a corner.

This blog has been viewed 37,165 times by 16,952 different people since my first post March 26, 2008. Not bad for just over a year and a half. That's over 2000 views per month including the first two months where there was very little traffic. The monthly pageviews over the last 12 months is between 3000 and 4000. Although it's not the biggest audience in the world, let's all agree it's the most important one :)
But it's not about the numbers. I'm grateful for all of you that have visited this blog, and I hope it's been as helpful and informative as the numbers indicate. As always, I'm open to suggestion on how to make things even better.
It has been an interesting ride. I have learned an incredible amount about the web, blogging, social media, and all things Web 2.0. I've written and passed 3 parts of the lare exam, including both graphics parts, and have attained my ISA arborist certification. I've also been practicing at a great firm all this time and doing more and more cool stuff every day. In transitioning from a student of landscape architecture to a practicing professional over the past 8 years, I've found several areas where technology might help us out. More on that in another post.
In honour of hitting 100 posts I've updated the cover image. I've also cleaned out some of the ad clutter.
Thanks again,
Dan
