What do you do when your blog turns one?
Do you …
1) celebrate favourite posts
2) talk about interesting people you’ve met
3) fess up to blogging mistakes you’ve made
4) itemize what you’ve learned
5) or get sideswiped by a coup …
I was gifted with what came behind door number five.
Instead of finishing a rough draft on Errol Saldanha’s redesign of brandingbranding.com (brandingbranding.com was one of the first features on DWB), I spent my time trying to find out what was going on with all the tanks in Bangkok.
The coup leaders cut off access to TV and phones, so I was limited to the internet. By the time I remembered the birthday post for ‘Designers who Blog’, my rough draft had already posted itself and … I was out of birthday steam.
Until today.
There’s a party going on and we’re invited
Joe from ‘Working at Home on the Internet’ has started a Birthday Blog Carnival.
Liz from ‘Successful Blog’ is throwing an OPEN COMMENTS DAY PARTY to celebrate Blog Birthdays.
To kick off the party, Liz wants us to bring a link to our most successful post. As DWB is not a successful post type of blog, I’ll cheat by concentrating on themes.
The NO!SPEC Campaign was, by far, the best overall. I used my given talent for jumping up and down, others joined in on the jumping up and down, momentum was felt by all … and continues to be.
Now that I’m back in the birthday mode, in the next week I’ll …
1) share a brief history of DWB subjects and happenings
2) touch on a few of the talented bloggers I’ve ‘met’
3) list my blogging mistakes as well as what I’ve learned
4) and feature Errol’s brandingbranding.com
In the meantime, I hope to see you over at Liz’s, all day and into the Mic night.

Hi Joe, and a Happy Blog B-Day back!
Seven years, boy, do I know that one …
Happy Blog-Birthday! That’s a neat trick with the header image.
So, blog years are like dog years?
Hi RIck, thanks for the Blog-B-Day greetings.
Yes, I’d say blog years are just like dog years …
… or, similar to raising a baby. All that responsibility, care and feeding, dedication, hopes and dreams.
Happy 1st Blog Birthday, Cat!
Many Happy Returns. :)
Thanks Renée. Being able to celebrate with a group is SO much more fun then on a lonesome :-)
A Little Love and A Whole Lot of Tips
Since I didn’t party like a party animal on my Birthday on Monday (in bed with migraine), I thought I had better make up for all my losses. So this past Tuesday I went to a party, a cyber-party to celebrate 4 Successful Blogs’ first Blogday…
