Not your average blog.

Welcome to the fourth, and penultimate celebration post about the history of Brickspace.

Brickspace has always been on the frontier of unique Lego blogs. It's one of the very few Lego fan blogs that combines both creations and Brickfilms, and unites them under one virtual roof. It's this diversity in the content of Brickspace that has attracted more and more viewers to its pages each week.

Brickspace was originally a Lego-only blog, but along with its new name (when it changed into what we know today from Best of Brickshelf), it started to showcase a lot more than creations. The first ever video post was of the film 'The Day Brickfilms.com Crashed', and was blogged by Luke, one of the new members of Brickspace and the driving force behind the redesign.

Brickspace then started to class its posts by using small banners at the top of each post. The first few were Creation, Video, News and Site News, but here's a couple of others that you don't see so often, and some that never made it...

Back to the Future was a short-lived blog post series, which sadly had only one 'episode'. The idea was to revisit old Lego series and talk about how they were so popular, mainly the series which were being rereleased. I, as John, admin of Brickspace, give you my promise that Back to the Future will be back, someday. I'll never go off the idea.

'Bio' never happened, either. The idea here was to write a short biography of a builder (or Brickfilmer), and to eventually compile all these builder profiles into a special site or book or something. I'd still like to make an 'A-Z of Lego builders' book, but I doubt I'd have the time if I tried.

Here's something we certainly never saw: a competition. Don't disregard the prospect of a Brickspace competition: it's going to happen someday, once we build up the fund which we get from advertising here on Brickspace.

Speaking of post types which I'd like to see happen in the future, here's our never-used set review logo. Unfortunately, I've tried and failed many times to write a set review, but it always turns out to be too long-winded, and taking pictures of the set against a white background is tiring work. Someday, people, someday.

And so endeth the list of Brickspace post types of the past. I'm sure (or at least I hope) most of them will return in the coming year, and Brickspace will continue to be a Lego blog worthy of anyone's time.


That's all for this part of the Brickspace celebrations. The final part, which will be coming to you on the birthday itself (the 21st), will be all about the future of Brickspace. Don't miss it!
