Okay folks, I guess that about does it for me. The next entry you see here should be coming from Journals Editor Jeff, who'll be tickling the keys starting tomorrow.
Before I go, I just did some checking through the Magic Smoke archive listings, and here's a few tidbits I found:
* My first blog entry here occurred on May 13, 2005
* Since then, I've posted 583 entries (well, 584 counting this one)
* That's an average of 34 entries a month
* My most prolific posting month was January, 2006, with 64 blog entries.
To get these numbers, I just went to my most recent monthly archive page, copied the monthly totals from the sidebar, and pasted them into a spreadsheet for some quick number crunching.
There are a whole bunch of other stats I could bring up -- Editors Picks and Guest Editors run, photos of myself posted, questions unanswered, outages reported (and cleared), etc.
Or, I could bring up different events -- hurricanes and terror attacks; the ads fiasco; blogger tributes; comment spammers; Live 8; and a whole lot of stories about people busted for blogging.
But, you know, the archives are going to stay right where they are, so you'll be free to relive the past whenever you feel like it. I get the feeling it won't be all that often, because Journals Editor Jeff has got a lot of great stuff planned.
As for me, I'm not going to be going that far -- all of the Community products and programming folks work pretty closely together. I'll be focused on the AIM Pages product, starting on the AIM Pages Team Blog among other things (it's currently an AOL Journal, though as noted, we're probably going to switch that to another blogging platform in the near future).
And of course, I'll need to create a new AIM Pages profile (since Jeff is going to take over the Journals Editor profile).
Anyway, thanks to everyone for making this such a great experience. Please keep blogging, and I'll see you in the funny papers.
Thanks -- Joe

::sniff:: ::boo hoo::
So sorry to see you leave. I know you aren't going far but it seems like it. You were (still are) a great journal editor.
Thanks so much for all the help you have ever given me and the rest of J-land.

will miss you and your help and quick response
So sorry to see you go Joe :-(
Take care! Martha
Does that mean you wont come back to this blog ever again to write? You have great posts about all guys of topics besides AOL bloggers needing guidance on the howtos...I think or I hope, you will at least post here on subjects that interest you. Or can you do that over there? OK, I think my fear is getting the best of me now, so I'm outta here,lol.
That stinks. I mean, tomorrow's "Talk Like a Pirate Day." I can't believe you're going to miss it.
Anyway, good luck, Joe. It's been a blast, and though you're leaving this place in very capable hands, Jeff's going to have some pretty big, fun dancing shoes to fill.
For what it's worth, thanks for all your help. You have no idea how many times I've come here with any number of blogging troubles to quickly and easily find the answers I've needed.
Now, let's see if the New Guy can handle "Talk Like a Pirate Day," okay?
Yer chum,

I was sitting outside drinking my red bull and it dawned on me that my comment might be taken as sarcastic. Its was warmly written and sincerely based. I'm neurotic with needing to be understood to others. Its why the forest relieves me,lol.
RLOL..forest relieves me?....its the surreal of nature and not potty training
Thanks for everything,Joe! You're a good egg! - Karen
