Time flies, but a year in the blogosphere, especially a year of sustained growth and success, is a long time.

Keeping that in mind, I would like to extend a hearty congratulation to James Joyner of Outside the Beltway, who has been blogging for a full year now.

I was there at birth, so to speak, as I received an e-mail with his original B*S page and the statement “What the hell.” Now, as he notes in his State of the Blog Address celebrating his first full year, I was quite used to receiving e-mails from him with commentary of various types. I initially took the note to mean: “What the hell?!?” and so I was at first confused as to what was so objectionable to the first couple of OTB posts, until I realized the content was his.

Also, you can blame him for the existence of PoliBlog, as OTB inspired me to give this blogging thing a try as well.
