The Party Post Was Up at 5:33 a.m.

Everyone who attended the blog birthhday party October 24, 2006 was invited to bring a link to their most successful post and to explain how they made that choice. Each blogger made a choice based on his or her own criteria. During the party, people left to read posts and came back to talk about them.

To celebrate DWB’s one year b-day Cat created a shared banner page. Take a look it is incredible — like the blog it comes from.

Timothy Johnson offered these words his sales for charity.

And since you made a semi-obscure reference to “Race Through The Forest,” check out the charitable promotion I’m running right now. I’m basically donating my book-sales margins, so I want to sell as many books as possible to benefit three very deserving child serving organizations. . . . Let’s hope those Amazon reviews help raise a whole lot of money for some really great charities: A Time to Give.
