We Celebrate Our 2nd Anniversary Today

by Silicon Valley Blogger on October 15, 2008

I normally would have something more planned for this day, but unfortunately, I’ve been highly preoccupied with my travel plans. But I’ve got this little bit of time to celebrate my 2nd anniversary in the personal finance space. It’s been fun being part of the online financial blogging community and I wholeheartedly thank you for your visits, commentary and support.

2nd anniversary, happy birthday

In 2 years, this site has managed to get to the point of averaging close to 100,000 visitors a month, and that’s something I never believed could ever happen.

So cheers to you all — for making it so much fun and truly inspiring for me and for many other bloggers to keep chugging away in our little nooks on the web. Hope to last many more years.

Congratulations to The Digerati Life!
P.S. It’s our anniversary next week so when I saw the title I got a little freaked out :)

Congratulations! You’re still one of my favorite PF writers around, so I’m looking forward to another great two years and beyond!

@The Digerati Spouse,

I am honored that you’ve kindly commented on the site! Yay for the rare appearance! ;) Yes, I realize we’re celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary next week…except I won’t be here! Gasp. Raincheck, please! Thanks for all your help on and offline (<3) .

@Nick,

Wow, thanks for the compliment Nick! I thoroughly have enjoyed your site and your no-holds-barred sense of humor. If you met me in person, you’d see why ;) . Love your site and let’s keep on blogging!

Happy birthday to you. I can only hope to reach the tenure that you have achieved. Congrats and good luck on the next 2 years!

@Jim and Doctor S,

Thanks guys! It’s a great pleasure to be “working” in the same community with you.

Doctor S — Let’s hope to last as long as Jim ;) (and some other old-timers as well!) lol.

Time moves quickly doesn’t it?
Congrats on a job well done!
Craig & I will also be celebrating our wedding anniversary next week - but it is our 28th!
As I said earlier … time moves quickly, doesn’t it?

@Dawn,

Congratulations on your (wow!) 28th anniversary! Yes, time moves way too fast. Just yesterday, I forgot I wasn’t 23 years old any longer.

But times like that, I like to be delusional. :D

Congrats on the 2 years, I hear that the 3rd year is the hardest (heeh)
What do you attribute most to your growth over the past 2 years, word of mouth? search engines?
Sure would be curious to read as I have just found the site, and just bookmarked it…

Congratulations on the anniversary. I don’t know for sure why Digeratilife has been successful but I assume because it has quality and insightful writing.
