Blog-iversary: Part I
February 8th, 2010Lookout, world! The OWL blog has reached its terrible twos! That’s right: as of this week, the blog is officially celebrating its second anniversary.
Much has happened since last year’s blog-iversary. I’ve written 125 articles
and you’ve posted more than 2,500 comments. (Nice work!) In fact, we’re approaching 5,000 comments since the start of the blog. Can you believe it?
To mark the occasion, I’ve crafted a list of my Top 10 favourite moments from the past year.
Let’s get the party started!:
#10: The first Reader Art of the Week (AKA RAotW)
This is my favourite new feature from the second year of the blog. As I said at the time, I’d publish a new piece of reader art every week if I could. But for that one I need your help! Send your comics, drawings, poems, and stories to me at owlblog@owlkids.com. If you haven’t sent something in to be published on the blog yet, what are you waiting for?!
#9: Six questions with… DwayneTheShark
I mean, it’s not every day you get to converse via email with a nurse shark.
#8: The first Saturday blog post
As you guys know, I’m addicted to the blog. I’m always checking in on the weekends to approve comments, see what you guys are saying, and so on. But until I wrote a mailbag on a Saturday in early October, I’d never actually posted anything on the weekend. I had so many good questions piled up, I couldn’t wait!
#7: The original comic Claude Bordeleau drew for the blog
#6: Breaking news on the OWL blog
In the first post of the second year of the OWL blog, I posted some very big news: the return of “Max Finder Mystery” to OWL. Lots of you were very excited about the news, and I was happy to report it here first — blog readers knew long before anyone else!
Now, here’s some other big blog news: Owlkids is publishing a new collection of “Max” comics: Max Finder Collected Casebook, Vol. 4! It includes the 10 most recent comics, as well as three brand-new stories penned by series creator Liam O’Donnell. You heard it here first!
But, you’re saying, “That’s only half of the Top 10! Where’s the rest?”
Check back tomorrow for the Top 5! In the meantime, please take a moment
