500th Post

This is the 500th post.

The first sentence written here (back in January of 2007 - my freshman year of college) was, "Ah, solitude at last." or something like it.
And since then there have been many sentences and many posts, and in the coming days I'll repost a few of them - or something like it.

And because I know which post is my mom's favorite, I'm going to put it here, instead of writing something momentous.

Happy Friday, world.

The almighty Internet

This week has been especially professionally fulfilling for me.
I realize that it's weird to say, but there have been small accomplishments that really boost my confidence as far as potential goes.
You've been reading my blog long enough (maybe) to realize that I'm terrified of being stuck in that mediocrity that I feel I live in, but I'm also terrified to realize how capable I actually am. (I know what you're thinking. She's so melodramatic; not this again. But deal with it.)

That being said, today I updated the company website for the very first time. By myself (mostly, there was a bit of input from my colleague Heather). I added links to images on our Partners page. And then I put them up live on the website unaided.
That was the scariest part, I think; messing around with our actual, real website. Not just saving and testing HTML code internally.
But I did it. And now I'm comfortable enough that I could do it again.

And for me, that's a small step toward something.

My article in the Cape Chameleon

Here are the scans of the article which appeared in December in the Cape Chameleon, published in Cape Town. Feel free to click on the images. Once they're open in a new window, you can click on them again and they should magnify to a somewhat readable level.

enjoy!
