Mihaela Lica said
Liz, I have my SEO book in work, so right now… I cannot put any link to it. But of course, as soon as I have it ready, you’ll get a complimentary copy.
I’ll bring a link, and it will not be that link to your blog, where you so kindly featured the Blogger Power project. Have I thank you enough for your help back then?
And I’ll bring my heart.
ME Strauss said
Hi Mihaela!
You bring yourself and something that you’re proud of that you want to share. I’m so jazzed about everyone showing just how outstanding and successful you all are!!!
Brad Shorr said
Happy birthday, Liz! This will be the place to be on the 24th.
Karin H. said
One of my blogs had its (his/hers?) birthday beginning this month too.
You can count me in for the celebrations on the 24th!

ME Strauss said
Hi Brad!
It was so fun last year! It really felt like party was going on here.
ME Strauss said
Hi karin!
Happy Birthday! I’ll add your blog to the announcement post!
This is going to be outstanding!!
Alina Popescu said
WOW, what a great way to celebrate your blogs! Liz, you are cool as ever
I’ll be here to wish you guys happy birthday, it lasts long enough to catch half of my day
ses5909 said
What a great concept. I’ll be here to check things out. Oh, and congrats
ME Strauss said
Hi Alina!
That’s the reason it lasts so long — so everyone who wants to can join us!!
ME Strauss said
Hey SES!
Thanks, I can’t wait to see you!
HART (1-800-HART) said
Oh - for SURE you know I’ll be here during the day! I don’t know about these “Flash Mobs” though .. should I bring some extra Pringles?
ME Strauss said
Hey HART!!
Just bring your wonderful stories . . . we’ll have plenty of food!
Char said
Do you honestly think I could/would even miss it? No way!!! Open Comment is such a great Tuesday night event and a great way to really get to know bloggers at a much deeper level. Plus, they are always good for a laugh and a Klondike bar.
I will definitely be there!
ME Strauss said
Hey Char!
Can’t wait. Can you?!! The Klondike bars will be flying . . . maybe you can bring your Klondike bar cake.
Joanna Young said
Hi Liz, it’s in my diary already!
Knowing you it’ll be a pretty amazing set of celebrations
I’ll think about what I can bring.
I sent some virtual haggis to Joyful Jubilant Learning when they had their birthday (is virtual haggis a blogging first?) and a Burns poem.
Maybe some more Burns might be in order (I know you like roses..) and maybe some whisky and shortbread?
Joanna
ME Strauss said
Joanna!
You have my head spinning without the whisky! So many possibilities. It would be fine if you came with nothing in your hands. It’s a party for everyone . . . not for presents.
Joanna Young said
I’ll make sure and bring enough to share then
ME Strauss said
Oh my! I sure hope you have broadband!!
Robert Hruzek said
Hey, I can’t wait to join the fray - besides, I seem to have the habit of thinking Wednesdays are Tuesdays…
Liz, this sounds like a lot of fun! I’m going to have to rummage ’round the storage room and see if there’s something I can bring to the party. (Sound of creaky door opening…)
jon said
Of course it is for the presence. It always is with you. that IS the point. Oh, wait. you said presents. nevermind.
ME Strauss said
Hi Robert!
It was really fun last year! I can’t imagine how much more fun it will be this year!!
I think you being here will be just enough! YEA!!
cat said
Liz,
YEAH a party! I am SO ready for this. And with such great company too
ME Strauss said
Yeah!
Me too! I’m thinking there will have to be one other event. Something involving a voice call.
cat said
Voice. Absolutely!
Last year when we realised we were turning one together, it was great fun. And we were all such babes, remember?
This year will be even better.
(I’ll have to get my time management ducks in a row so’s I don’t miss it
Mike said
I’m looking forward to this caper…
ME Strauss said
You’re caperizing this blog I can tell.
Joe said
Hey Liz,

I can’t believe I haven’t commented on this yet, I thought I had.
Happy Blog Birthday to SOB and all of us.
You know I’ll be there with Bells On!
ME Strauss said
YEA!! Joe,
I couldn’t imagine a birthday without you!

Hello Liz
I heard about your party from Bean at the LVS Blogging for Fame and Fortune course. I came along and found the party must be going on… (I am in London in the UK, but I think I am within the party time.
BUT… Am I at the party? I don’t know if I am or not! Anyway, if I am, here’s a virtual balloon or two and a link to my fairly new blog that hasn’t had time to be successful yet.
Best of luck and I think your site is a wonderful idea.
ME Liz Strauss said
Thanks Valerie!
I’m sending you an email now!
