jobsanger Celebrates Its Ninth Birthday Today

Today is the ninth anniversary of the birth of this blog. In those nine years, I have posted over 18,400 times and those posts have received more than 2.37 million page-views (according to Google). That's not too shabby for a single-person progressive blog emanating from the reddest area of a very red state (the Llano Estacado area of Texas).

As jobsanger enters its tenth year, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who read this blog. Your support is deeply appreciated, and buoys me in my effort to continue blogging -- hopefully for many more years.

In keeping with what has become a tradition on this blog, I repost below the very first post ever made on jobsanger:

Hello out there! This is my first blog and my first attempt at blogging, so if you do accidently drop by and read the blog, cut me some slack. I hope to get better over time. This is not meant to be a news blog. This is an OPINION blog. This is my place to gripe, whine or blow my top when I get disgusted with politics, religion or culture in general. I am a left-winger who is not afraid of the "s" word. If you prefer to call me a socialist, that is fine with me. I am not a religious person, but I believe all people should be free to practice whatever religion they wish or none at all. I don't get upset until you start pushing it down other people's throats. I am a political Independent, since I see both the republicans and democrats as being corporate owned. Although I am male, I am pro-choice and consider myself to be a feminist. I believe in EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE [no exceptions]. That should give you some idea of where I'm coming from. If you do read this blog, I hope you enjoy it and come back from time to time. Thanks!

  1. Keep posting jobsanger. I look every day. I may not comment often but that's probably because I agree with your posts. You are brave to live in the Llano Estacado. I used to live in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, San Angelo, and New Braunfels. Family members still live in Houston, Dallas, and Galveston areas. So I have an idea of the depth of your commitment. Your's is a lonely voice in the 'red sea' that is Texas. Happy Birthday!
