my blog is five years old

Date: May 24, 2007 | 7 Jumada al-Awwal 1428 Hijriah
5th birthday It's getting to the point where I post only once or twice a year, but the blog isn't completely dead, and it is now 5 years old! Hard to believe, but the first posts were on May 24, 2002. Where did the time go?

If anybody is still reading this, thanks for sticking with me. I can't promise more frequent posts in the future, as my job keeps me busy and after working with blogs all day, I often don't feel like updating my own. Mostly I don't get any further than bookmarking stuff on del.icio.us so you might want to subscribe to that if you're looking for something to read!

Life is going well. This is going to be a busy summer for my family. My dad is retiring at the end of May, my sister is getting her Ph.D. in mid-June, and my grandmother will (inshallah!) be turning 100 at the start of August. I'll be going down to California for the second event and to Minnesota for the third.

Thanks again to everybody who still checks in, I hope you're doing well and getting what you want out of life. Peace and blessings to all smile

Subject: Wow! I'm glad I found you.

Asalamoalaykum sister,
I just found your blogs today! I just began my "hijab blog" a month ago. It's about my struggles and committment to finally wear the headscarf in addition to overall hijab. I really like your blogs and other articles. Especially in "hijab for beginners" in which you wrote "just do it"...that is exactly the same line i used in my blog just a few weeks ago! i'm so glad to find support like this now, i did not have such when i wore the headscarf back in highschool , 15 years ago. that led me to remove the scarf, but now Alhamdullillah, i'm back on track, InshaaAllah. Please take time to read my blog and leave comments on what you think, I'd love to know! Nice to meet you and keep in touch ;-)

Salam sister Umma,

Thanks for visiting. I'm off to check out your blog now. It's great to hear that you're starting to wear hijab again! I've been wearing it for not quite eight years now. I think it was a lot easier to start it back in the pre-9/11 days so I have a lot of respect for the sisters who are starting now!

Ma'a salama

Subject: Re: Happy 5th!

As-salaamu alaykum brother Umair,

Yep, reading blogs via RSS is definitely the way to go. I never unsubscribe from any blog, just in case they come back later and post again.

I'll look into Facebook, inshallah, but I'll probably be using my Vox account to share photos with my friends and family.

Ma'a salama!

Even though you so seldom update, I check back regularly for the top five news stories feature. I've found some really interesting stuff that way. Thanks! May your next five years be good.

Subject: Still appreciated

As-Salaamu 'alaikum,

I still have your blog at the top of my sisters' blog section (by virtue of it being at the top of the alphabet!) and still read it from time to time. I'm glad you turned comments back on as comments are what give a blog life, IMHO.

BTW: can you contact me? I know of a sister who wears niqab (in Canada) and wants to get work without having to take it off. Perhaps I can put you in touch with her insha Allah if you can help her out.

Happy 5th anniversary for the blog.

I don't check your blog regularly but I do visit once every few months and usually find a post or two. :-)

I don't even remember when was the last time I commented here.

Subject: Re: my blog is five years old

Hello brothers and sisters,

i was shocked as i saw this blog: http://www.assigranten.blogspot.com/. The blogger, named Eckehard L. from Schwelm in Germany, says that Allah is a pig and a child-rapist and that every moslem has to be killed. Im very shocked of this words.

What can we do against this?

Some friendly people of Germany watch his blog: http://cawatch.beeplog.com

Best Regards
PengPeng-Musel
Allahu Akbar

Subject: RE: 5 years

I must say it is very impressive having a blog running for 5 years. I have been running a hijab site for just a year or so and feel puffed with the internet sometimes, i sell the hijab
