When Steve Jobs passed away a couple of weeks ago, every article I read contained a timeline: 1974, Steve Jobs invents the computer; 1976, Steve Jobs becomes a millionaire; 1980, Steve Jobs fired from Apple; 1985, Steve Jobs invents movies; 1989, Steve Jobs becomes a billionaire; 1994, Steve Jobs invents music; 1998, Steve Jobs becomes a trillionaire; etc. Though slightly less well known than Steve Jobs, Rural Ways thinks that a timeline is a good way to show how far we've come. From a humble beginning nearly three years ago, Rural Ways has quietly become a publishing phenomenon. Now, as we celebrate two hundred posts, it is time to take a look back at the people and stories who have built this site into the juggernaut it is today.
