The Collected Editions Blog Fifth Anniversary

The Collected Editions blog celebrated its fifth anniversary yesterday. In lieu of flowers, just one request: please leave a comment on this post.

As Collected Editions completes its fifth year, I'd like to take this opportunity to get a real sense of who's out there. I appreciate all our wonderfully vocal commenters, but I know they're just a small fraction of everyone who stops by each week.

So right now, even if you're reading this by email or wouldn't ordinarily comment, please leave a comment on this post. Just say "hi," plug your own site, or mention your favorite Collected Editions entry or how you found the blog; I think it'll turn into a fun conversation. If you've been reading Collected Editions a long time, even since the beginning, I'm curious about that. If you're inclined to post about, retweet, or otherwise spread the word about this, I appreciate that, too.

(And when you finish, visit the Hunger Site, where your clicks help feed the hungry.)

I'll wax poetic on five years of Collected Editions later on, but right now I just want to say "thank you" to (possibly) everyone who's commented or otherwise significantly helped out over the last five years (and apologies if I missed anyone): 0011101, 2frog, A.
