Congrats on the milestone!
And then I got depressed when I checked my stats and realized that I started a month before you did but am almost fifty posts behind. And that I barely get half your traffic on a good day. Gah.
Congratualtions. I've not made 400 yet, averaging somewhere between 2 & 3 posts a week.
However what astounds me is the idea of several posts lined up ready to roll. But then I guess archivists are naturally a bit more organised than the rest of us
Amy - Remember, it's all about perseverance. And being an archivist-in-training, it's also about longevity and getting lots of people to come and read. It's like when an artist dies, it's only then that their stuff is worth something :)
Kim - What you lack in quantity, you more than make up for in quality. Anybody can throw up a recipe or a presidential biography, but it is your posts that one can take inspiration from. Part of the reason I have so many in the hopper is that I have recipes and presidents posts already written. It's really not as impressive as it sounds.
But thanks to you both for the nice wishes.
