I started this blog about 1.5 years ago in December 2005. At the time I didn’t really know too much about blogs. I’d kind of worked on my Smuggle Me Blog, but that was mostly just playing around. Thankfully I was bored over Christmas break and so I was found searching the internet for information on EMR. As I accrued all this information I decided that I wanted a way to publish my thoughts on EMR and also share the various EMR related items in one place. It was kind of fun to look at my first EMR and HIPAA blog post.

When I started my blog I hoped that one day I’d make it to the top of Google’s search for EMR. In fact, my first attempts at getting visitors to my blog was finding the highest ranked EMR sites on Google and joining. 1000 posts on EMRUpdate (one of the top EMR websites on Google) and I’m still enjoying my visits to the site. I really want to thank EMRUpdate for giving me lots of great content, keeping me motivated and sending me plenty of traffic when I was just starting. Well, now I guess that my website has finally made it to the front page of Google for EMR (Number 10 to be exact). It feels great to be recognized by Google as one of the top 10 sites for EMR.

I also want to take a second to post a big Mahalo (Thank You) to the various sponsors and advertisers that have supported my EMR and HIPAA blog. It’s been great working with the good folks at EMR Experts and Medical Software Associates. My wife really appreciates the date money. If anyone else is interested in sponsoring or advertising on EMR and HIPAA, then leave a comment and I’ll get a hold of you.

Thanks for all those readers who have left great comments and provided even more ideas for my blog.
