One year old!!

One year old!!

Sometimes it feels I’ve been blogging forever and sometimes it feels I only started it yesterday…. As it turns out today is my one year anniversary in blogging! I almost missed it but was reminded just in time by someone elses anniversary…

Looking back over the last 12 months it’s funny to see how it all changed. I think in the beginning I really had no clue what to write about; I moved blogging software twice in that period as well. Started on blogger, then on to typepad and now finally wordpress. I’m gonna stay here though… :)

I’ve met many amazing people in the foodie blog world and I still think it is incredible that there are so many talented people out there and being part of the blog-world is so much more fun than I initially thought!

Just for fun I wanted to post a really old foodphoto that I took about 4 years ago, just to see how horrible, horrible those were but as it happens I cleared up some of older discs just last week and I threw out all the old stuff that no one really needs, including… those very first foodshots! But as luck would have it I keep multiple backups so after some searching I found it back.

One of the very first foodphotos I took!! Isn't it terrible??

I am not sure what I was thinking when taking this terrible photo above, but it’s fun to see what the starting point was and where it went to from there, right? :)

Good thing I wasn’t blogging at that time!!

Chicken curry with rice and beans

I know there are quite a lot of posts already on the site, but those have all been transferred from the ‘old’ blog, sooo.. this is the first official post from the brand new blog, which is still in the process of building. It’s the first time I am actually using specific software on my own domain and to be honest, I was very pleased with myself that I got everything to work yesterday! I am behind a computer a lot, so I do know something about it, but editing php or setting up database in MySQL stuff is not something I do on a regular basis, but thanks to the extensive manual from wordpress I managed! So now it’s still a lot of tweaking and customization of the site. Changing fonts (what do you think of the font?) and changing things around etc…

The above photo is another one that I did for the catering company this week; chickenfillet with green beans, curry and rice. It was a really hard dish to photograph and this was the angle that worked best. Still not my favorite of the day (those are the spareribs) but ok. The catering company is happy with it, which is the most important!

Back to editing the site now…:)

A while ago – by mere accident – I stumbled upon this great site which is all about food bloggers and the community. Ofcourse I had to immediately sign up, even if I am a relatively new food-blogger they still welcomed me in with open arms. It's a fun site, so they have now officially launched their site so take a look around and get hooked!!


Here is the official announcement!



LAUNCH OF GLOBAL FOODBUZZ BLOGGER COMMUNITY  

LEVERAGES REAL-PEOPLE, REAL-TIME POWER OF FOOD PUBLISHING    

San Francisco – October 13, 2008:   Foodbuzz, Inc., officially inaugurates its food blogger community with more than 1,000 blog partners, a global food blogging event and an online platform that captures the real-people, real-time power of food publishing in every corner of the world.  At launch, the Foodbuzz community ranks as one of the top-10 Internet destinations for food and dining (Quantcast), with bloggers based in 45 countries and 863 cities serving up daily food content.   

“Food bloggers are at the forefront of reality publishing and the dramatic growth of new media has redefined how food enthusiasts access tasty content,” said Doug Collister, Executive Vice President of Foodbuzz, Inc.  “Food bloggers are the new breed of local food experts and at any minute of the day, Foodbuzz is there to help capture the immediacy of their hands-on experiences, be it a memorable restaurant meal, a trip to the farmers market, or a special home-cooked meal.”     

Foodbuzz is the only online community with content created exclusively by food bloggers and rated by foodies. The site offers more than 20,000 pieces of new food and dining content weekly, including recipes, photos, blog posts, videos and restaurant reviews.   Members decide the “tastiness” of each piece of content by voting and “buzz” the most popular posts to the top of the daily menu of submissions.  Foodbuzz currently logs over 13 million monthly page views and over three million monthly unique visitors.       

“Our goal is to be the number-one online source of quality food and dining content by promoting the talent, enthusiasm and knowledge of food bloggers around the globe,” said Ben Dehan, founder and CEO of Foodbuzz, Inc.

The Foodbuzz blogger community is growing at a rate of 40 percent per month driven by strong growth in existing partner blogs and the addition of over 100 new blogs per month.   “The Foodbuzz.com Web site is like the stock of a great soup.  The Web site provides the base or backbone for bloggers to interact as a community, contribute content, and have that content buzzed by their peers,” said Mr. Dehan.   

Global Blogging Event

Demonstrating the talent and scope of the Foodbuzz community, 24 Meals, 24 Hours, 24 Blogs offered online food enthusiasts an international, virtual street festival of food and diversity.  The new feature showcased blog posts from 24 Foodbuzz partner bloggers chronicling events occurring around the globe during a 24 hour period and included:

Mid-Autumn Festival Banquest (New York, NY)

The "Found on Foodbuzz" 24-Item Tasting Menu (San Francisco, CA)

Aussie BBQ Bonanza – Celebrating Diversity (Sydney, Australia)

The Four Corners of Carolina BBQ Road Trip (Charleston, SC)

Criminal Tastes – An Illegal Supper (Crested Butte, CO)

From Matambre to Empanadas: An Argentine Dinner (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

A Sweet Trompe l’oeil (Seattle, WA)

“24 Meals, 24 Hours, 24 Blogs” captures the quality and unique local perspective of our food bloggers and shared it with the world,” said Ryan Stern, Director of the Foodbuzz Publisher Community.  “It illustrates exactly what the future of food publishing is all about – real food, experienced by real people, shared real-time.”    

About Foodbuzz, Inc.      

Based in San Francisco, Foodbuzz, Inc., launched its beta Web site, foodbuzz.com, in 2007.  In less than a year, Fooduzz.com and its community of over 1,000 exclusive partner food blogs have grown into an extended online property that reaches more than three million users.
