World History
I note that December 31st is the two year anniversary of the start of this blog. In the last two years, I have changed my blogging style some (more frequent posts and more commentary on sites) but I have kept my basic premise the same. I just want to highlight history on the Web. And I try to hit different time periods and different regions to keep this blog interesting to as many history people as possible.
I hope to be around for years to come. My thanks to the many people who have linked to this blog or posted comments on my writing. I appreciate it and your support has kept me blogging.
