Happy 4th Birthday to SOBs Everywhere!

October 24, 2009 by Liz

All Weekend It’s a Party!

Today is Successful-Blog’s fourth birthday.

happy-birthday-4

On October 24, 2005, I wrote my first blog post on Successful-blog. That week began the story and the wonderful relationships this blog has made. Some facts about what that has been:

  • That first blog post was written on WordPress 1.5.
  • The SOB Awards started the same week. Over a thousand SOB badges are out there.
  • Open Comment Night, which started on May 9, 2006, preceeded Twitter’s birth by 5 months.
  • The first SOBCon — SOBCon07 — grew from the comment box on this blog.
  • As of this writing, Successful-blog has 87,872 approved comments, over 1.6 million spams caught, 3,714 published posts, and more friends than I might ever count.

Thank you everyone who has stopped by to read, leave a thought, be a part of this blog and my life.

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

open mike night

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Help Celebrate!! Bring a Link! Bring a Link!

That’s right, you’re invited to bring a link to your most successful post. When you leave the link, please write a comment about how you chose the most successful post to bring.

  • Bring a link to a page, a picture, a post that demonstrates, celebrates, illuminates your success and outstanding-ness as a blogger.
  • Or bring that ebook, that manifesto, that photo, that priceless work that you want to offer as a birthday gift to everyone.

I’ll compile a list like this when the party is over.

Stopping to Celebrate! 100+ Party Links that Mark Our History

C’mon in and get to know us! There’s free beverages and snacks in the sidebar. Join the party. See who you meet. Stay and come back again. Happy Birthday, all of you! Thank you for making what we do meaningful! –

Stopping to Celebrate! 100+ Party Links that Mark Our History

November 2, 2008 by Liz

Thank You for Coming!

They act as if time is marching all over them, with each year ticking off their lives with a resounding effect. People stomp through their lives, never stopping to celebrate milestones, small victories, and everyday achievements. —Alicia

Celebrations. Birthday parties. Anniversaries. Graduations. Marriages. New Houses. New Babies. Openings and Closings. And the dates that remember them. In the timeline of a lifetime, it’s not hard to start seeing them as interruptions and burdens.

Wouldn’t our calendars be so much freer without all of those ritual obligations?

Last Tuesday and today, I was reminded why we stop what we’re doing to take part in those “interruptions.”

It’s the stopping and the gathering that holds together a community. We see each other. We see who’s here and who’s gone missing. We tell stories of our history. We remember what we used to be and notice how we’ve grown.

In an event tied to last year, we notice this point compared to that one. We see what we’ve given and what we’ve managed. We reunite with people we didn’t know we’d thought we had lost, and in some ways they bring back parts of our personal history.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate and mark this day for next year’s celebration. Meanwhile, here’s some of what happened at this one!

At This Year’s Party

We had a refreshments.
emdoozie | Michael Anderson said, “Cocktail anyone?” and Bean brought the party hats.
Katie Baird was kind enough to provide the Atomic Cake. and Martin Neumann won a copy of DivaJess’s ebook The Indispensable Guide To Living & Working From Anywhere You Want

REVIEWS were good. I particularly liked this one that came in while the party was still in progress.

isabella mori said

well, HELLO everyone! look at all these people! and the balloons and the party hats and the BAND! where did you get that band, liz? and i LOVE your dress. you look even better than last time i saw you, how do you do that?

and Giovanna Garcia left, but returned with a video birthday I-Action wish . . .

Joe of course, wrote his traditional road side poem.

Everyone brought a present tonight
Links, successful to everyones delight

The good will and best wishes did flow
You could see Liz’s face was all aglow

New friends and old gathered tonight
To thank Liz for a friendship so tight

We all hope that there are many more years
Of Blogs Successful, Liz leading, smiling, no tears.

I’m writing this special invitation to every Successful and Outstanding Blogger — whether you’re on the list or not.

In the meantime, would you join us? We’re having a birthday celebration!

The 3rd All-Day Open Comment Birthday Party

Who: Everyone is invited.

What to bring:

  • Bring a link to a page, a picture, a post that demonstrates, celebrates, illuminates your success and outstanding-ness in blogging and social media.
  • Or bring that ebook, that manifesto, that photo, that priceless work that you want to share as a birthday gift to everyone.
  • Bring yourself and a comment about why you’re successful.

I’ll be sitting inside your computer waiting to read it and respond to them all.

Indescribable! — Part 3 birthday balloon

thank you

On October 24, 2007, Successful Blog celebrated our 2nd birthday since my first post here. YEA!! It was a wonderful time.

Every person who came was a gift to me. Every voice that spoke was heard. I went back and read every word. Thank you for all coming around.

My dad wasn’t here, but this is the kind of birthday that would have happened in his saloon. I know. I know. I was there.

Thank you for the successful and outstanding links that you shared.

An Incredible List — Part 2 birthday balloon

thank you

On October 24, 2007, Successful Blog celebrated our 2nd birthday since my first post here. Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who shared by bringing a link to something successful and outstanding.

I guess this an example of why your mom, dad, grandma, 3rd-grade teacher or whomever said over and over, “The early bird gets the worm.” Had you come to the party before comment 210, you would have gotten the esteem of page rank 6 blog when your link was posted . . . no worries, it would still be a page rank 3 today.

Life goes on. The lovely, successful and outstanding experiences you brought are as successful and outstanding as they ever were. Thank you for coming to the party and for sharing parts of your life with all of us.
