Stephen’s Lighthouse Blogiversary

Well, well, well. Today is the 10th anniversary of this blog – my so-called blogiversary.

It has been a fun run and I hope to keep going.

My first post stated the theme of this blog and it hasn’t changed much.

“The lighthouse theme is based on what lighthouses do – shine a light on the waters and/or sound a horn to help ships navigate the course. They don’t always stop the ships from crashing onto the rocks but they help most of the time.  So, arrogant or not, I hope that this blog contributes in some small way to helping the good ship Library World navigate to their vision of the future.”

I’m also finding that, as I get older, it serves as a great memory tool for tracking the things I’ve read.  If I want to find a post I can just go to the Google and search “Stephen’s Lighthouse” and whatever report or link I want to find.

There have been a lot of changes over these ten years.  I started the blog when I was at SirsiDynix and then continued it while I was at Gale Cengage.  It traveled with me into my consulting practice – Lighthouse Consulting Inc. – see what I did there? 😉 Every day it’s been a part of my coffee in the morning and I’ve loved seeing my posts wend their way through the blogosphere and social media networks.

Anyway, it’s always useful to note these anniversaries and then just keep on truckin’ on.
