Happy 10th Bloggoversary to Art Predator!
On Saturday November 4, 2007, on the night of the time change, I started this blog.
One year later, in 2008, I was blogging on Wine Predator and attended the first Wine Bloggers Conference which I reported on here.
And two years later, in 2009, I was in Portugal as a wine blogger.
In 2010, I was speaking at the California Governor’s Conference on Women.
In 2011, I spoke at the International Food Bloggers Conference.
In 2012, I spoke at the Wine Bloggers Conference in Portland.
In 2013, I traveled in Washington and Canada as a wine blogger.
And more!
It’s been quite a journey!
Readers love it when I write about Burning Man, but also they come here to learn about this song (almost 6k views in 2017 alone!).
I’ve also written about various festivals, and I provided a platform for Ron Wells and Grant to write about their passions in music and politics.
Overall, at this point I’ve published almost 1850 posts and gathered almost 700k views.
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
