Saint Andre was the first to remark Blogito ergo sum — I blog, therefore I am, in October 2001. Pretty sure that Roland came up with it independently two months later.

If this is your first year blogging, congratulations. Remember to celebrate your blogday. Daily writing changes you, and metablogging (blogging about blogging) is part of understanding those changes. Do you want to see others who've had similar existential moments? Google on blogito ergo sum for posts from Italy to Russia, from Australia to Canada.

I'm eager for a study of the cognitive and affective states bloggers cycle through in their first year.
