Today marks the first anniversary of this blog. Yes, one year ago I tentatively began this blog about our impending trip to Seoul. 150 posts later I'm still blogging and still bringing a small but loyal band of readers a mixture of news, events, photos and items of interest on my life in Seoul.
To celebrate this anniversary I decided to take a visit to The Korean Blog List to see how many other bloggers that added their blog to the list around the same time as I did are still blogging.
Feet Man Seoul Continues to grow his blog with daily posts on Korean fashion tips and stars and has expanded with Korean language posts as well.

Show Dae Jang Geum On BBC Alice in London started a blog about her quest to get the BBC to air the Korean drama 'Dae Jang Geum' in the UK. Her latest post in May indicates that the BBC would love to share it with the British viewers, but sadly there just isn't enough time in the day to show it.

Almost Urban -Canadian Student Henry has been blogging steadily during the year. His postings on his trip to Mt Kumgang in North Korea are excellent.
The Daily Kimchi The indefatigable Gdog has continued to blog a post every day since he began his teaching job last year. His blog also provides the largest number of referrals to this blog for which I am always grateful.
So, out of the 24 blogs started only 8 have stopped blogging. That is quite a good record I would say. Congratulations to all those that have lasted a year. Here's to another year of blogging, and to the 36 blogs that have been added to the Blog List since my last roundup in April can you last the year?

Hi Jon, thanks for the kind words. I always enjoy reading your quality posts on what's happening in Korea.
Your post has inspired me to post about my one year blog anniversary too--except I am 12 days late! ;)
It does take a considerable amount of dedication to post once a day, and you are right--I am indefatigable!
no problem!!! quite addicted to blogging these days, actually.
congratulations !!!
have a wonderful blogging year and keep us updated about happenings in Seoul.
Congrats on running the gauntlet. Keep 'er up.
I found that blogging is not-so-easy hobby to keep up. So many interesting stuffs/events, So little time to catch up especially with a language barrier.
Anyway, Congratulations to you too Jon!! Thanks.
