We’re having an OPEN COMMENTS DAY PARTY OCTOBER 24TH to celebrate Blog Birthdays. The Mic will be open all day for conversation, so stop by whenever you can to see who’s here and chat a while. It can be a talking marathon, if we want.
So far we know of these blogs celebrating in October:
Does your blog belong on this birthday list? Tell me. Tell me. Tell me, please. Also write a post about your blog birthday and submit it to the Blog B-Day Carnival for October 31 being sponsored by Working at Home on the Internet.
That’s right, when you come on Tuesday, 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.
I’ll compile a list of all of the posts when the party is over.
To find out about Tuesday Open Comments DAY, October 24th, links, prizes, conversation, fun, and how to be part of the Successful-Blog 25-Words Birthday Challenge, click the title below.
Write about a memory, an event, a funny incident. Be clever as a code-writing donkey.
Join the fun, get a link or two, and give good wishes to the birthday blogs!
Prize donations are still being accepted. Judging will be by random drawing by IT man, my husband, who is not a blogger.
There will be more surprises on the 24th — I get bored easily.

Tuesday, October 24th is one-year since I wrote Whoââ¬â¢s ME Strauss and Whatââ¬â¢s She Doing Here? That was my very first post at Successful-Blog. This post is somewhere over number 1000. A lot has happened between then and now.
In that first post, I defined Successful-Blog in 33 words. Not too shabby, but not too lean either. Put it down to being new here.
Now it’s your turn. I’m having a contest — a challenge really — to see what happens when folks, great writer/bloggers like you, try to describe Successful-Blog in a few words. Here it is.
The Successful-Blog 25-Word Birthday Challenge: Define Successful Blog in 25 words max. That’s 24 PLUS One — in keeping with the plus one tradtion that’s been part of this blog for so long.
Of course there have to be rules, regulations, and prizes. So I’m going to tell you about them.
Rules and Regulations
They’re easy, and there’s not a lot of them.
Prizes
Hey, I’ve got a kid in an expensive university. So bear with me on this one.
UPDATE: Kirsten Harrell, Psy.D. the dynamic and delightful author of ipop-in has donated a new prize to the 25-Words Birthday Challenge. Now one lucky winner will get a $25 Gift Certificate for an RX for a Positive Attitude.
All entries will be posted on Monday, October 23rd. UPDATE: early a.m. Chicago time, Tuesday, October 24th. The winners will be announced Tuesday Night, but THE MIC WILL BE OPEN ALL DAY. We’re Having a Blow-Out Birthday Party!!!
So join the fun, get a link, and wish us a happy birthday!
Prize donations are still being accepted. Who knows what the judging criteria will be? I might just have to do a random drawing if they’re all as good as I think they’ll be. Feel free to suggest some. I’m making this up as I go along.
UPDATE:The judging will be by random drawing.
