2nd Blogiversary
I started this weblog 2 years ago with a test post on Blogger. However, I didn’t update regularly until November 2002 starting with a photograph of Allatoona Lake.
Things have changed quite a lot in the last two years. From an average of 20-30 visits per day, hits have increased to about 450 visits. I have posted 674 entries and had 2766 comments. I have met two excellent bloggers (Jonathan and Gary) in real life because of this hobby.
The focus of my weblog has expanded as well. When I started out, my plan was to focus on politics, Islam and photography. With our pregnancy, this blog got a lot more personal than I had planned.
As for the future, I think my current frequency of posting (i.e., about once every 2 days) will continue for a while.
I am planning on starting a baby blog as well, like Cerin Amroth by Polytropos. I haven’t decided yet whether to use TextPattern or Wordpress. I like Textpattern, but can’t find a nice way to do restricted posts there.

Congratulations!
Yes, congratulations. I hope impending fatherhood still allows you time for posting
Hey, congratulations!!
Alf Mabrook
Congrats! And do keep posting. I enjoy reading your blog…
Thanks, everyone.
Conrad: Blogging will not only continue with fatherhood, it’ll expand to a 2nd blog devoted to the baby. However, I haven’t decided yet how much of that blog I want to make public.
So, you plan to continue posting every other day, and your readership has expanded by a factor of 20 in 1.5 years. Congratulations!
This should no longer be a free service. With such prolific key punching, you could easily write a book. In fact, we should; I’ll be the silent partner
Of course, I will help with the title 
Possible Titles:
1) A Socialist Muslim in America
- a memoir
2) There and, ‘I’m not going back again!’; A
Pakistani Immigrant’s Tale
- a fine tale of hard work, new hope and
a dark tower or two.
3) Leaning Left on the Koran and America
- a commentary on liberalism and the Koran
in America punctuated by staccato rants
disparaging the neo-cons
4) Myopia in the Vision Community
- a scathing rejoinder to conferences that
rejected the obvious brilliance of your
work
And, I’m just getting warmed-up…
Captain Arrrgh: How’s the ranching going?
This should no longer be a free service.
I guess you missed the post about ads.
From a variety of sources, I have earned a grand total of $28 this year from blogging. How’s that?
Congratulations on the milestone. =) I hope you keep blogging for many more years to come.
Keep it up son ! We are there to pray for your success.
Blogging will not only continue with fatherhood, it’ll expand to a 2nd blog devoted to the baby. However, I haven’t decided yet how much of that blog I want to make public.
Wow, this is impressive not only will blogging continue but it will be expanded!!! I can just see a picture some years from now (obviously quite a few) when the youngster will be bringing home his/her date and you can suitably embarrass the kid by whipping out these old baby blogs LOL !!!
