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!

Happy blogiverary!
(Is that a cake that you actually baked? It's great.)
Happy blog birthday! You've certainly had a fantastic year.
Ha! Nope, this is just a great volcano cake photo I found. But now that you mention it ...
Congratulations on your success, and thanks for a terrific blog! It's one that I look forward to each day.
Happy first volcaversary. Thank you for fostering dialogue between scientists and the public. I am one member of the public who is interested in having my media myths dispelled.
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.

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.
Congratulations, Keep up the good work, love your blog.
Kudos to Dr. Klemetti for an informative and entertaining blog that stays on track (i.e. no drift to politics and flaming). Well done!
Happy birthday to the blog
Love this blog. Balances very nicely with the Volcanism Blog
keep up the great work

What a great story, and not just for the success of the team. The way they all work and volunteer together is wonderful, and teaches more about life than many of their classes.
Good news: the high levels of weed killer in our drinking water means we can kill the weeds on our lawn just by peeing on it.
Hi, my name is Tisha.I'm 17 and new to computer graphics. My ex-boyfriend said I wouldn't make any money at it.do you know where I can get a cheap copy of zbrush?
This place is awesome, I like what you're doing here. Keep them coming.
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.
Genuinely informative entry to study on.! I am actually intrigued with this posting. Looking forward for additional data.
