A Blog Birthday Thank You

It is a year to the day that I started writing for my blog, and what a year it has been. Since this blog began I have written 152 posts which have been viewed 11,825 times. I would just like to say a big thank you to all those who follow, read and comment on what I put out there. Your support is very much appreciated.

I have learnt a lot over the course of this year about blogging in an entertaining way whilst maintaining academic rigour. Blogging has also enabled me to write about areas of interest, share my experiences and travels and further develop my studies by exploring topics in greater depth. I have re-read some my earlier pieces and feel the urge to re-write them because my style has developed and improved so much.

I am really looking forward to the coming year. There will be a lot for me to write about in July and August following my trip to Greece. I will also be entering the final stages of my MA focusing on Greek and Roman Epic and a yet to be determined dissertation topic.

If you have any areas of interest you would like me to write about then do contact me, my contact details are on the welcome page. I also share a lot of articles by other classicists and bloggers, pictures and other content on twitter (@da11sop) and via Facebook (www.facebook.com/davidallsopclassics). So do follow me and like my page if you use those Social Networks and want to keep up with me between posts.

Thank you again everyone and here is to the year ahead.

David
