On the evening of August 12th I opened a Typepad account, and made my very first post on this blog. I was really nervous, but I figured, Hey, blogging is like sending a message in a bottle... without the water. Nobody's ever going to find your blog, so don't worry about it. You can imagine how shocked I was to learn someone did find A Flyover Blog the very next day. I had a reader!
Just two weeks before, I wasn't even familiar with blogging. Blogs were those teen cyberspace diaries that dirty old men scoured looking for unwitting victims. I had no idea there was a vibrant community of normal, well-adjusted people online! Okay, normal may be pushing it. A big thank you to Mike Justice for saying, You really need to be blogging, Deb.
Anyway, thanks to everybody who has dropped by to say hi, read my posts, and welcome me to the blogosphere! According to Sitemeter, I've already had nearly 2400 visits in the past 12 weeks. I thought I was setting my sites high when I hoped for 500 visits. I still have tons to learn, so bear with me while I continue this work in progress. Only yesterday, I figured out how to center a picture in a post.
I look forward to meeting many more people and making new friends in the coming months! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
