Well, my summer has come and gone. I want to first of all extend my appreciation to all of the bloggers who posted while I was out. I am interested in hearing some impressions of the little experiment from the community here. If you posted something (and even if you didn’t), let me know if you enjoyed reading the other perspectives and the whole experience.
I had an incredible trip. It was nice to get away for almost 10 days. But alas, high school summer band has started up now. With that goes my summer vacation. I am simply wrapping everything up now and getting things under control as the new school year rolls in. I will do a sort of Bloggers Gone Wild wrap-up this weekend, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Joseph Pisano and thank him for hosting the 2nd edition of the Music Education Blog Carnival. Go check it out!
I enjoyed blogging gone wild. i got a lot of new hits and me a lot of new people. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Joel,
It’s really cool to read the experiences of others who have posted their articles here. You should do this again. Glad to see that you enjoyed your time away on vacation. We all need a break sometimes in our life. You’re doing an amazing job with your blog.
I enjoyed the opportunity to write for a different audience. It was also fun to read some different bloggers. I tend to not wander too far outside my regular blogs.
This experience may have given me some new blogs to read and may have brought me one or two new readers.
Thank you for the trust!
Welcome back! I loved your experiment, and enjoyed writing for a new audience – everyone is so nice here. Thanks for the opportunity. And best wishes with the beginning school year!
