This weblog started out on this date last year with an entry about spaghetti salad
We started this blog with an installation of Greymatter 2.1 originally written by Noah Grey. The blog started out very hesitantly, posting only once every few weeks. We really started taking off when we added a RSS feed in October.. The feed seemed to get the ball rolling for more frequent posts. It seemed to be a good idea to post something for people to read on your feed.
The quest to improve the RSS feed prompted the move to Movable Type In January 2004. We am really enjoying the MT setup and are posting almost everday because of the easy to use interface.
We are now up to our 86th post. Site traffic has increased from 7 per day to almost 120 hits per day. February looks like it will close out with over 2500 hits from 1400 unique URLS. I am looking forward to see what happens with Our Diary over the next year. Until then,
Congratulations! You should also mention that this blog has also spawned another, your Photoblog. Way to jump in with both feet, and an elbow :)
