Happy Blog Day: CamWorld Turns Six
It's hard to believe I started writing CamWorld six years ago. Some days it feels like just yesterday and other days it feels like an aeon ago.
Over the years I've taken time off from writing CamWorld but inevitably I always come back. This site is so much a part of my life and of who I am that I can't imagine the day when I'll stop writing it altogether.
I want to thank all of my readers for coming back, day after day, to read what I have to say. Without you CamWorld would be nothing. I also want to thank those who have encouraged me when I was down, supported me when I was sick, laughed with me when I was happy, argued with me when I was wrong, and sent me little notes of appreciation over the years. You know who you are. Thank you.
Here's to six more years.
Note: The wonderful image on the right above is courtesy of Kurt Halsey, an amazing illustrator in Michigan who also has a weblog. I'm a big fan of his incredibly touching drawings and paintings. I borrowed (and slightly modified) one at the last minute to use as my Blog Day image because I feel his work deserves more attention. Kurt sells prints and original works of art on his Web site. I'm sure you will enjoy his work as much as I do.

Congrats! Your weblog inspired me as well as many others (like Matt above) to start our own. Here's to six more!

Congrats, Cam, and I echo the others in saying that your site was a big factor in my decision to start thescoop.org (which, coincidentally, is three years old today).

Shit, I'll "out-blog" you any day.
Uh, sorta. Thanks again for the technology...developing, furthering and implementing this stuff in such a powerful way.
Congrats on the big six years!

Happy Blog Day. Just popped over here from Draplindustries.com - a favorite haunt of mine. Good for you. Big Ups on the Shout-Out to my little buddy and studio rent sharer Kurt F - who actually resides right here in lovely Minnesnowta. For some reason the laid-off auto workers in the Dee-troit area particularly enjoy Kurt's sad-sack paintings and frequently buzz him over there for visits, hence the Michigan connection. Keep on keepin' on, my boy.

Happy Blog Day, and congratulations, Cam! You (along with TheBrad) are a blogfather of mine as well. Keep it coming. Bolshoye spasibo!

It continually amazes me to see how many people have followed in the footsteps of Glenn Reynolds. You could have been just another clone blog site, but by adding the perspective of a web technologist, you took the idea of blog in an entirely different direction (and truly *earned* the WebPundit name). Perhaps we could call it a "web" blog.

Congrats Cam!! It's good to have you back writing!

if man is five
if man is five
if man is five
then the devil is six.
Well, something like that, yeah. Congrats, bloguncle Cam.
