Happy birthday Daily (Maybe) - prepare the party hats!

Yes it's two years to the day that The Daily (Maybe) was launched - although rather irritatingly I notice that all the dates in the archive are out by a couple of days, so it looks like I ended my month long experiment on August 4th. Tut.

As I said at the time "Over the next few weeks I'm going to have a bit of an experiment and see if I can maintain a blog, almost daily, and be able to maintain my interest in the bloody thing." I don't think I realised at the time that I'd still be here on post 666 (really, that's the current post number). Which makes one post for 91.23 % of the intervening days - I think that qualifies as almost daily, don't you?

At the end of July 2006 I said "Haven't yet decided what to do with the blog - where to go with it. The healthy thing to do would be to say, groovy, enjoyed that, delete the blog and take up squash." You may have noticed I haven't yet got round to deleting the blog - don't worry - any day now! Prepare my squash racket someone.

Anyway, I'm rather pleased with this little milestone and have decided to make a bit of a week of it. This will include daily updates with a) the long awaited 'request a topic posts' that I haven't got round to yet, b) some reposts from things I've written over the last few years, c) a series of specially written guest posts and contributions and lastly d) a regular post on whatever comes to mind at the time, as normal.

I hope you'll like what I've put together for the next week and feel free to leave gratuitously over the top praise for the Daily (Maybe) in the comments box.
