Offbeat Homes

A Super Special Sunshiny Day at Offbeat Homes

by Jennifer Chait on June 1st, 2008

Guess which blogger is having a year anniversary today?

If you said “I bet it’s Jennifer” you’d be correct. Today marks my one year anniversary here at Offbeat Homes.That officially makes me the longest-term Offbeat Homes blogger ever! Offbeat has had other very cool bloggers; Kevin, Ingrid, and Adam, but no one stayed a year. Go me.

Of course, Offbeat is not a hard place to stay because I adore this blog. Since I started here last June, Offbeat has gained some nice momentum and readers just keep on increasing. And that’s not a pat on my own little back, believe me.

Not to sound like an Oscar’s speech, but many people have helped to make Offbeat a success and a great place to blog. From other home and architect bloggers, to my great (but often silent) readers, to the other bloggers here at b5, and of course to all those architects who just keep on building wacky structures.

That said, Offbeat is way too cool for one anniversary post; we’re going to celebrate all week long. We’ll take a look back at the best structures from each of the last 12 months (thanks to Marye for the idea), visit some of my favorite architect bloggers, see who sends me the most link love, and find out just who some of these Offbeat readers are.

Maybe I’ll even finish the category clean-up. I really tried to finish - I wanted Offbeat to look all spiffy for today. I’m even halfway done. Oh well; you know in Mexico they say perfection in houses is not beaty - that every beautiful structure should have a flaw, no matter how small. Maybe we should all live that way.

In any case, it’s all the best of Offbeat all week, so stick around.
