Happy Birthday WRConnected!
Well we made it a year!
It was a year ago today that I registered waterlooregionconnected.com. I can't believe it. I didn't really know what I was doing, or even what to expect when this all started. Things at WonderfulWaterloo were deteriorating very quickly. My goal was simple, get something up and running as fast as possible and make sure Waterloo Region had the online community it deserved. I had no idea how many people, if any, would show up. I couldn't have been more surprised.
In this past year we've seen a lot of changes. We've had over 350 users register and those users have accounted for over 10,000 posts! It's these users that make this community so great. At first 10 posts per day was amazing, now we're over 60! We started out with an ugly blue interface and we've changed to what I think looks much better, and runs much smoother.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this past year a success. Those of you that have helped with the graphics, the site's background work, the moderation and day-to-day running of the site. You all have helped more than you know.
Let's celebrate year one as a success, and look forward to all of the great things year two has to offer.
