Break out the party hats, simple sugar foods and of course some fresh juicy oranges. It’s time to celebrate! Not only is it Friday, but today also officially marks the 1 year anniversary of when I first started peeling fresh marketing posts for all to read.
I can’t believe that I’ve been blogging a whole year. That is, minus a little hiatus, while I was hacking my way through customizing my own WordPress theme, but lets just chalk that up as part of the whole blogging experience.
A lot of great things have happened in a years time.
- got to meet a rock star author
- interviewed the lead singer of The Format, my favorite band (which sadly is no more)
- had a little semi-productive rant
- found that sometimes short and simple is all you need
- organized an online revolution that has yet to happen (The rush must go on! Someday, I promise! )
- jumped on the bandwagon for book 2
- hosted the first Fresh Peel contest (with some sweet prizes)
- read a book from the Netherlands and loved it
- given lessons in how to talk like a human
- and I’ve come into contact with some of the most awesome people from all over the world
So peel a fresh orange and lets drink the juices to another great year of peeling back the old ideas and traditions of marketing.
And I just want to say thanks to the Fresh Peel readers. Your comments, emails, phone callls, and even your subscriptions have played a big part in the Fresh Peel’s evolution.
Now I leave you with the Top 5 Favorites from year 1 (most views):
Congrats on the one year. Have a party and celebrate!
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Congrats and happy birthday – rest assured I’ll be breaking out the beers in Sydney on your behalf 🙂
man, i totally forgot to bring in the fresh-squeezed orange juice to celebrate! or would that be too cannibalistic??
Congrats, Chris. I’m glad to have been along for the ride. I look forward to the next year… and beyond.
Keep Cooking!

Chris,
Happy Birthday and keep squeezing it (okay, that came out weird and somewhat scary. But hopefully you catch my drift).
