ScoobySnax Seven Year Anniversary Post

It's so hard to believe that seven years ago today, this site and blog were published online for the first time. For those who have been following the blog for a while, you know that every year, I like to do a special post giving a brief overview of everything that has happened with the site in the past year. It's essentially a yearly journal that I'm sharing with the world :)

Going chronologically, starting all the way back last September, just like we're doing again this month, we had a pretty action-packed month, with multiple posts per day between all the 13 fan spotlights and a poll every single day, in addition to all the other news. It's always so fun to do the fan spotlights every year and get to show off all the amazing contributions that people are making to this fandom!

In December, I finally published a brand new page on the site that I had been working on for it seemed like forever. I'm referring to the Music page, which lists every song that has appeared in all Scooby episodes and films, as well as providing a guide to all the soundtracks that have been released over the years. I'm super proud of this page and excited it's finally out into the world!

Towards the beginning of 2021, I also completely redesigned the home page to include buttons for easier navigation to each of the pages, and changed the site logo.

In addition to keeping up the monthly editorial articles, I also really enjoyed doing two themed weeks on the blog during the past year: Guess Who Week on June 13-19, which celebrated the end of the series after the final episodes aired in Canada; and "Knott an Ordinary Week" on July 18-24, a silly week that celebrated the legacy of Don Knotts on what would have been the week of his 97th birthday. It was a lot of fun to provide some closure on Guess Who and celebrate the show, given we all know Warner Brothers hasn't really done a good job doing that themselves with the past two Scooby series. It was also so much fun to see people enjoying the Don Knotts Week, with most commenters even changing their names to something Don Knotts related. It was definitely "Knott an Ordinary Week" here on the blog as the name promised, but it was a lot of quirky fun. The week definitely sticks out in my memory - maybe because I'm writing this post waaaay in advance and we're actually still in the middle of Don Knotts Week at the time of writing this, but that's beside the point lol.

One of the most special things that happened in the past year was that I got to talk to one of the writers of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Roger Eschbacher, who collaborated with me on the 350th fun fact. Roger was so nice, and I'm honored that he was generous enough to do an interview with me.

Thank you so, so much to everyone for making this another amazing year for the site. I'm super lucky to have such amazing, kind, lovely people frequenting this site, and I love that this blog has become such a great community for Scooby fans over the years!

Here's to another great year of ScoobySnax.com! :)
