Happy Birthday, Eruptions!

Well, this definitely snuck up on me, but today marks the one-year anniversary for Eruptions! On May 1, 2008, I started this little blog and if anyone told me that a year later I’d be paid for the gig and getting 50,000 views a month, I would have called them nuts.

So, thank you to all the Eruptions readers and commenters – there are too many to list here, but we’ve had a blast discussing the eruptions at Chaiten, Redoubt, Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai, Huila, Kasatochi and many many more. It is these discussions that make me realize that this blog is useful, especially in helping dispel media myths and foster dialogue between scientists and the public. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading Eruptions as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

Feel free to leave suggestions of how you might improve the blog, but here’s to another volcanitastic year!

    I come here every day too, since I discovered you via Volcanism Blog. Before that there was a dearth of good volcanism blogs in my blog list. I am grateful for your efforts. Long may your magma chamber replenish.

    Long may your magma chamber replenish.

    Sounds like the old Scots greeting “Lang may yer lum reek”

    Can I second (or 8th) the congratulations? Eruptions (and the Volcanism Blog) are addictive reading for this sad volcanorak

    Happy eruptive birthday! From the volcanologist’s perspective, let me tell you this is a precious source of information (but it’s also fun to read many of the comments), and Eruptions plus Volcanism Blog should satisfy the needs of many volcanophiles out there around the world. I got hooked on volcanoes more than 35 years ago, at the age of 10, and would have given my right arm (or at least one fingernail) to have such sources of information … back then it was the newspapers my parents brought home from their work as reporters. As you can imagine, not the best source of information at all.

    Things you brought up seems sensible. Nonetheless, picture this, suppose you integrated a little bit more? I am talking about, I don’t want to teach how you can run your site, however what if you actually added something that can easily get people’s attention? Simply like a online video or maybe a graphic or perhaps few to obtain viewers interested regarding what you are talking about.

    Wonderful Data! But I’m having some trouble trying to load your blog. I’ve read it several times ahead of and in no way gotten anything similar to this, but now when I seek to load anything it just takes somewhat even though (5-10 minutes ) and then just stops. I hope i really don’t have spyware or anything. Does anyone know what the difficulty could possibly be?

    What acne system should I try? I started breaking out alot a couple months ago and I used Murad and it took a toll on my skin so then I started using Dermalogica and I like it but I just don’t love it. So I’ve been using MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation and Laura Mercier oil free foundation and the MAC makeup really broke me out. I now have blaackheads,breakouts on chin,forehead, and I started getting tiny little bumps all on my cheeks and they’re so red. My skin is oily,very sensitive,and I tend to breakout. I just stopped using the MAC today and I bought Bare Minerals Matte Foundation so I hope that’ll help prevent furure congestion.But I need products for my skin and I don’ know what would be good. I thought about Proactive but I’m not sure.Please help!Thanks.

    My cousin just got me into this whole online journal thing, she left the next recently and she wanted me to start blogging so we could keep from running up our phonebills to rediculous ammounts. I don’t know what’s wrong with picking up the phone myself! I’ve been looking around the internet for examples of other blogs and I found yours. Can’t say I’m going to be blogging about the same thing, but it did give me some ideas :]

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
