Wandering Dawgs – Celebrating Ten years of Blogging

Posted in CelebrationTagged , ,

Today is the 10th anniversary of my first post on this Wandering Dawgs blog. I started the blog as a way to document our 4 month RV journey from Georgia to Alaska and back. In the beginning, the only people who read my posts were friends and family.

My second post wasn’t until May 17, 2013 when I posted First Day on the Road to Alaska. It was the first of many posts from our Alaska adventure.

I was surprised when bloggers who were total strangers started reading, liking, and commenting on my posts. Most of them were fellow RV’ers who shared their RV adventures, tips, and favorite places to camp. Some of them became blogging friends.

After we returned home from Alaska I continued blogging. At first I focused just on our RV travels. Eventually I branched out to other topics, participated in many photo challenges, posted about home in Coastal Georgia, my garden, and random other things. I continued to get more followers and I made blogging friends from all over the world. These days, I enjoy participating in the Lens-Artists photo challenges as a way to improve my photography skills and meet even more interesting bloggers.

I am grateful for everyone who visits this blog, for everyone who takes the time to like and to comment on posts. I am grateful for this wonderful blogging community and for my many “blogging friends”.

The gallery below highlights some of the most popular posts through the years.

There have been times when I can’t think of anything to post and I consider ending the blog. And then other times I realize how much I enjoy sharing my thoughts and photos with all of you and how much I appreciate all of you. I’ve just renewed Wandering Dawgs for another year!

  14. Happy blog anniversary! Isn’t it amazing how quickly a decade passes? I realized not too long ago that I’ve been blogging for 10 years, too. As you know, blogging takes a lot of time and energy. But I’m so glad to have a journal of our travels and life journey. And the friends we’ve made through our blog make it worth the effort. Keep on blogging and sharing your wonderful photos!

    1. Thank you Laurel! Yes the blog is a lot of work but I agree, it’s worth it for the friends I’ve made and to be able to look back over the last 10 years of our travels.
