Blog Number 400

Today marks our 400th blog entry. This approximately 53,000 word effort now rivals a medium-sized novel by word count. An average blog takes about an hour to produce. Each story is written, and then edited down to between 100 and 140 words. Writing the blogs isn’t always the hardest part. Each blog generally features a photo or more. A significant amount of time is spent conceiving a photo layout, taking dozens of versions of each photo concept, downloading, photo-shopping and then posting the finished product. We have taken 100 photos in just a few minutes attempting to get one with both twins looking at the camera and smiling. Thank goodness for digital photography. In this first year we have taken over 7,000 photos to yield the 500 or so we’ve published.
