The blog made it through

It's been an interesting start for the blog. It involved a bit of everything this year (getting started, updating stories and issues, renewing domain(s) and working for success for both blog and website (http://modecideas.com)

Now that both are started, all you watchers might want to make suggestions about the direction and new topics you would like to know/talk about.
In the meantime I wish you all well and hope you are raring to go in the coming year.
