Dead Rooster Turns 100

by William McCamment on September 30, 2009

old-truckIt took almost 2-years, but it finally happened: I’ve published my 100th blog post (you’re reading it right now).

I know a lot of my blogging friends reached 100 posts a lot quicker, such as after the first 5 minutes they started their blog, but for me, this is pretty good. Considering it’s only September and Dead Rooster went live on January 1st, 2008, it actually averages out to more than a blog post a week! That’s not bad, right?

I actually have the enthusiastic desire to write blog posts every day, but since my day-job involves lifting heavy objects under the boiling hot sun, it’s difficult to maintain energy to write after I get home.

One solution I had was to get a pocket video camera and take it with me wherever I go, do sort of a Dead Rooster Reality Show, but having convinced myself that the Kodak Zi8 is the perfect video camera for blogging, I am constantly disappointed because they keep selling-out (at least at the original $179 Amazon non-reseller price) before I can get one!

But, I think I can survive without video for a while.

Now that October is right around the corner (as in tomorrow), the busy season should be winding down soon and I can get back to blogging more regularly.

Anyway, thanks for sticking with me for 100 blog posts! :)

    Better to blog with 100 quality posts than 1,000 filler posts. – Confucius saying (bet you didn’t know he knew about blogging, did you? ;)

    I didn’t realize you’d only started Dead Rooster a couple of months before Cabbages… You’d seemed so established with the blog, I’d thought you’d been around longer than that! :)

    Congrats on the 100th. Does that make the Rooster a centenarian?

    Thanks, Jenn! :)

    I think it was my quick leap to stardom with the CNN story that gave the illusion of establishment. That happened only four-and-a-half months after I started blogging.

    I’m happy I finally made it to 100 posts, but I admire you and your—what is it now—400+ posts, just at Cabbages?

    I don’t know how you do it, girl! :)
