In anticipation of our last day, I asked the Blogging Ohio team what some of their favorite memories of blogging here were. Katherine Galo, who started posting here at Blogging Ohio back in April with me when the blog first started, wrote that "when you are at an event and you tell people that you're writing about it on a website, they are willing to believe you. No business card, no flyers -- they will take you on faith alone!" Katherine's reports of various goings on in Cleveland always made me wish I were a little closer than a three hour drive.
Tom Barlow noted that he was tickled to find out Ohio has a Frank Gehry building, the Peter B. Lewis building at Case Western Reserve. Chris Barzak wrote that it was a fun experience, and Jamie Rhein said "each day had something interesting and unexpected to write about."
Something else Jamie told me about being involved at Blogging Ohio was something I strongly agreed with. "The best part has been getting connected to other Ohioans who've read Blogging Ohio and made comments." I've been amazed and happy to find out about the north-east Ohio blogging community and Toledo blogging community. There will still be a lot of Ohio blogs remaining in my RSS feed reader just because I enjoy following them.
This has been a great time, and we are really indebted to those of you who commented on our stories, sent us tips, and who read Blogging Ohio. Thank you for your support. It's been a great ride.
