History By Zim is One Year Old!!!
A year ago today History By Zim was fully launched! (Technically, the website was started a year and one month ago but I do not count the first month since I did not do much.) It’s hard to believe that a year has already come and gone. I have to thank everyone who has supported me and the website.
The amount of people who this “pet project” of mine has reach still astounds and inspires me. In the beginning, I thought of this simply as a way to keep my foot in the history door and something for my resume. I am happy to say that it turned into something completely different. I am constantly learning new things about history and myself. I have been fortunate to meet other history enthusiasts who have encouraged me to continue to put out great work.
History By Zim has thrived because of you. It has spread by word of mouth and social networking alone. At almost a quarter of a million views, History By Zim is kicking some butt. For “only being a history site,” History By Zim has at least 300 views a day.
When everything is said and done, this is how I hope History By Zim makes you feel:

But never this:
If History By Zim has achieved that, then I think it has been successful so far

Congratulations on your birthday! I found your site only a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it. It never makes me feel like the last photo, but rather like the ladies in the third car of the roller coaster, with anticipation on their faces and not fully knowing what to expect! I am looking forward to the next year!
Thank you Steve! I love the ladies on the roller coaster, it seems like a progression of emotions from one car to the next. I’m glad you have enjoyed the site so far and hopefully the next year wouldn’t disappoint!
Thanks Zim for entertaining, informing and wowing us along this wonderful and exciting yr for you. Happy birthday and keep on keeping on.
Thanks Gertie!
