Village is 100 Posts Old

I just noticed that we passed the century mark in terms of posts here on the Electronic Village. Take a seat Barry Bonds ... the Villager is piling up the career numbers. We began this venture with our first post in mid-January ... and here we are a few months later with 100+ posts. We are still trying to get comfortable in the blogging world. Some of the highlights of the first 100 posts are as follows:

• AfroSpear - this is a growing network of Black blogs and bloggers that is cutting a path in the blogging jungle for our people.


• Blogging for Fame - This is a brand-new opportunity to promote the Electronic Village.


• Identifying ten bloggers that make us think - There are many others that I read regularly.


• Manic Monday meme - I enjoy using this weekly meme as an opportunity to share unique views of the African American experience.


• Million Dollar Avatar - Interesting concept.


• MyBlogLog Community - My traffic more than tripled when I joined this blogging community.


• Wordless Wednesday meme - one day I will share with you the reason that rhinos play such an important role in my visualization of success.

I have been asked to provide five reasons that I blog. I will respond to that request in the coming days. However, I can share that one of the rewards of blogging is when others share their village voice in the form of comments. I thought it would be interesting to close out this 100-post retrospective by listing the most popular posts over the first five months of our existence.

I have no idea where the next 100 posts will take us. However, I pledge to be consistent in efforts to grow our Electronic Village community. I hope that you will regularly sit underneath our baobob tree and enjoy dialogue with other elders in our village. Let's share information, ideas and thoughts with one another in an effort to grow and improve!

Feel free to share your thoughts, comments or village voice about your experience over the past 100 posts here in the Electronic Village. What would you like to see added? deleted? improved?
