Shades Celebrates Two Years Of Tons Of Fun
Two years ago today with this post, No Place For A Lady, Shades started down the road to blogging history. The history part is that I'm still enjoying it two years later.
It's been a wonderful year for Shades.
First, Shades Of The Departed was voted one of Family Tree Magazine’s 40 Best Genealogy Blogs. Thank you, to all those who voted and to Family Tree Magazine. Shades is honored to be in such esteemed company. And thank you to those who write for Shades, the regular columnists and those who contribute feature articles. They are Shades. Shades is all about the fascination with old photographs and our connection to them. We love what we do.
Today, Shades will have been presenting, Twice Told Tuesday, Web Wandering Wednesday and Many Things Thursday for two years. And this year Shades' dream of becoming a Digital Magazine came true with the November 2009 Inaugural Issue. Thank you to all who read and comment. Those of us who work to create Shades thank you for your support.
Let me introduce you to the heart of Shades. I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank the finest writers and best friends Shades and I could ask for in working toward building an online community dedicated to old photographs and the part they play in our family history.

The excellent writers of Shades write for their own blogs as well. If you enjoy their work, please take a moment to say so and support what they do.

HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO YOU, HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO YOU, HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY DEAR SHAAAAADESS, HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO YOUUUU!
Congratulations on being 2 years old and your success especially being voted as oneof the top genealogy site, quite an achievement for two years.
Continue with your good work as I look forward to not only reading but enjoying your thoughts and posts.
Well done
Happy Blogiversary, fM - and many more!
I am very excited about the two year anniversary of Shades, because, to be honest, it allowed me find out about you through celebratory postings on twitter. I just recently posted an article on my blog about trying to identify photos of unknown persons. To find out that Shades has a great interest in old photos was so great!
I am definitely keeping my eye on Shades and your digital magazine. I wish you many more years of success!
Happy Blogiversary and best wishes for many more!
Only two? It's been a wonderful two! Happy Blogiversary!
This issue is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much. I immediately read it from "cover" to "cover" and because I have a collection of "nurs-iana", I especially loved the stories and vintage photos of nurses.
Congratulations on two terrific years of educating and entertaining the genea-blogging community! We love Shades!!! We love Shades!!!
Thank you each and everyone. You and the people I work with are what has made this two wonderful years.
Do I have something else up my sleeve? I just might.
