The Map Room is seven years old today.

For a blog that was started as a way to learn more about maps, by someone who — at least at the beginning — was, shall we say, more interested than informed, I’m surprised at its staying power. Seven years later, I still feel like I don’t know what I’m talking about — although now, at least, it’s much more a case of my knowing what I don’t know. It’s humbling to muddle through this subject, as a learner rather than an expert, and have so many readers following me as I go.

Your support, feedback (when the commenting system lets you) and link submissions are appreciated, even if I never properly acknowledge them. (I’m terrible at responding to e-mail. Have I mentioned?) Thanks for reading.
