Yay! Holgablog turned 1 a few weeks ago!   We have come a long way in a year, from a small grotty blog to one of the most visited toy camera sites on the net.   The site wouldn’t have become what we now see without the contribution of some of the best toy camera writers on the net (or in real life!), so I would personally like to thank them all for their awesome articles over the last year. I would also like to thank you, the readers, for continuing to stick with us, sharing your views, and creating the community we have now.

After producing 138 articles from 15 different writers,receiving 804 comments and getting almost half a million views we are still as excited as when we first started this site.  Looking forward, I can promise you we have some exciting times ahead, with more strong articles on photography, more competitions, more offers, and possibly even some merchandise!

For now, here’s some articles you may have missed the first time around, it’s worth taking a look!

That’s just a small selection from our ever-increasing archive, take a look through the categories above to see some more!

So over to you.  Have you enjoyed holgablog?  What sort of articles would you like to see? Got a favourite article?
