There was a wonderful little reminder from WordPress this morning:
Thank you for reminding me WordPress!
Today, November 22nd, 2012 is the two-year blogiversary for My Sardinian Life! I can’t believe that I’ve written about this lovely island in the Mediterranean for this long. It seems like just yesterday when I took the leap of faith and signed up for a blog on WordPress – now two years have gone by. It’s been a fun and interesting adventure where I’ve learned about Sardinia – her people, cultures and magical traditions.
To my readers, followers and stalkers – thank you. If it weren’t for your words of encouragement in these last two years – in all honestly, I would have given up. I have virtually met so many wonderful, inspirational, courageous and brilliantly fantastic people via My Sardinian Life – I have learned from each of you. You have made dark days seem brighter and even managed to turn already sparkling days into moments of magic. It humbles me to be among your followers. Thank you.
And now I have a little treat for you all, and I do hope you enjoy.
The Best of My Sardinian Life (according to you … and the stats.)
- 1496 followers spread across various social media outlets.

Thank you for sticking with me these last two years. My aim in the coming years is to give you the best Sardinia can offer. Come on over – she’s waiting for you.
Why did you start to blog?
My Sardinian Life 
Happy Blogoversary!!! Congrats and thanks for all the work you put in…I’ve been primarily stalking for a long time, and still think of you often!
Aw, thank you! And don’t worry I stalk you right back! You were one of my first blogs I followed and I’ve enjoyed the marathon along the way.
Congrats. My two year anniversary is coming up. I didn’t know I would enjoy blogging as much as I do. I started my blog to help me keep track on my goals. But it turned into so much more. I’m glad we met and I love learning about your part of the world. Thanks for sharing.
Well done! I started my blog to help my friends discover Bagni di Lucca, but it seems to have developed a life of its own. One of the best things about blogging is meeting fellow bloggers. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island with us.
Thanks for following along the adventure, Debra. 🙂
Wonderful and congratulations!!!!! I’m following shortly behind and I think we started following each other from the start!:)
Can you believe it’s been two years? I can’t. It’s just flown by! You were one of my first blogs that I started to follow – such inspiration.
Me too! Crazy but so wonderful to finally being doing something I’ve always dreamed of.
Congrats on your second blogiversary! May you blog for many more years.
Notice how many versions there are? Blogoversary on the counter, Harry says blogaversary as do many others, but I have always preferred the blogiversary you also use, as adapted from anniversary.
Congratulations Jennifer. I am a newish follower but I am loving your blog and read it almost every day. I started blogging for much the same reasons – let friends and family back home what we are up to. While we were in Sicily, it was almost impossible to find free wi-fi so, ironically, most of my blogging has been back in Canada. Since then, I have been blogging mostly because I love it!
Congrats Jennifer on your second year, i’m now in my third year 🙂
Put this in your sidebar, it counts down to your blogaversary

Congrats to you, Jennifer. I hope I wonder if I’ll get a reminder for my 1st Blogiversary in January? 🙂 Lovely photos, as always. 🙂
Buon Compleanno!!!!!
Happy Birthday :p
By the way we share our WP birthday you know?
WOW! That’s amazing! So happy anniversary to you as well!!
Thankssssss! We should share a cake for the event 😀
That would be great – we are sorta kinda twins, and I love cake! 🙂
Let’s organize, anyway in December is my birthday (not the blog one) and I stop working, maybe we can organize something for the fun of it!
That would be great – like a bake-a-thon?
I do not know what it means but…why not?
What were you thinking of organizing? A bake a thon is where people bake things against each other. We could post about it.
We can find a place “halfway” in Sardinia with our families and have like a pic nic. Something unformal just for the fun of it! And I’m all for the Bake a thon! Sounds a lot of fun 😀
I forgot you are in Sardinia – where?
Quartu Sant’Elena, in the Cagliari area,
Keep up the great work…through your blog I’ve been to places in Sardinia that I didn’t have the chance or will to visit when as a young man I lived there. Thanks to remind ma of my heritage !!!
Congrats and Happy Anniversary. I’ve enjoyed following you.
And I thank you for following along with the adventures! 🙂
Awesome! Congrats! Found you just the other day, or was it that you stopped by my website. Not sure but either way, glad to have found your website. Traveled the island via Google Earth a little bit, beautiful place indeed! 🙂
Thanks, John. You actually left a comment on a guest post I wrote for the Blissful Adventurer – then I came and checked out your blog and you followed me here! 🙂
Oh, oooops! Well, have an awesome day!!
Happy Blog birthday. I am still a newbie I think I am 9ish weeks old. So well done. Keep up the good work and thanks for making me smile. 🙂
Pecora Nera
If I make just one person smile, my job is done. 😉
Congrats Jennifer!! What a wonderful achievement. I’m happy You post about this lovely island and can’t wait to read about it for at least the next 2 years 😉 Keep up the great work!! Ciao, letizia
Congrats, Jennifer. Happy Blogiversary !!!
happy b-day to your blog, must check out some more of those posts! 😉
I started my blog actually as a fun way to keep family and friends informed about my trips and travels with The Viking. The fact that hundreds of other people would be interested as well came as a total surprise for us 🙂
It was rather surprising for me too – who knew other people besides my friends and family would be interested in what I have to say! 🙂
