It was 12 months ago today
I decided I had something to say…
Today marks the first anniversary of this blog (which spent four months at WordPress.com) and eight months here. During this time:

- 3,839 comments (224,236 words)
- 64,112 spam comments
- 203,803 views (according to WordPress stats)
- 8,809 was my biggest traffic day
Achieved this year:
- Establishing and maintaining a Top 100 Australian Blogs list
- Establishing the Bumpzee Australian Blogs Community
- Co-founding the Aussie Bloggers Forum (and blog)
- Brief press mention
- A few nominations
- Discovering so many wonderful people and making friends
- Growing my subscriber numbers
Thanks to so many wonderful people who have shared this year with me. It’s been lovely getting to know you.

Hi Meg,
Congratulations! You’d be pretty happy with that year I’d think! As for next year, I’m sure that there’ll be many great things, including the Aussie Bloggers Forum becoming a huge success.

It’s only been a year? Happy anniversary, and great work. It seems like much longer.
You’re well on your way to stardom. Wonder if you’ll remember us all when you’re rich and famous.
[Just wait for your first million hit day… they tend to pop up when you least expect them. And I also remember in the not-too-distant past (before the RSS fiasco) when 200,000 was a relatively quiet weekend. Hope you’re prepared.]
Mike Macgirvin’s last blog post..Dynamic Font Resizing
Congrats Meg…. here’s to another great year!
Oh, and just to add to your section, “Things you achieved this year”, please add:
– Inspired countless bloggers to get off their collective asses and start writing 😛
Burgo’s last blog post..Things I probably should have told you in 2007.
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments
Jen – I think I’ve got more than enough to keep me busy for a while!
Stephen – I think Aussie Bloggers will be my main focus and hoping your prediction is right
Leigh – thanks mate. It’s been wonderful meeting you and thanks for all the good you do
Kelley – 20k is very impressive, more than double what I had after 4 months – you go girl
Mike – LOL “rich and famous” comes only to a select few in this blogosphere, I shall never be one. 200,000 in a weekend? OMG – I’d never be prepared 😉
Burgo – LOL 😀
Only a year, I did not realize that and it makes your achievements even more incredible. Not only have you made such a success of this blog but you have contributed so much to the word of blogging and helped so many.
Well done, Meg. You have an admirer in me
Now if you could just send some of that traffic my way, I would be a very happy little blogger – joking – you already have and I thank you for that. Plus – I am enjoying the Aussie forums so much. It is such a friendly and helpful place to be.
Congratulations!! You have achieved so much is such a short amount of time.
Riayn’s last blog post..Doctor’s Appointment
So like there were only 19 days that you didn’t post
or you can say that you’ve been writing approx. 500+ words every single day just on this blog BESIDES creating and maintaining all of your other blogs!
Wow, Now those are real accomplishment Meg! Congrats! I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed your blog ever since I discovered it…
Wishing you a lot of happiness, great health (and wealth of course) and much more success in 2008 and beyond!

alyndabear’s last blog post..Disappointed.
Your blog is a work of art and your achievements, especially in relation to promotion of Australian content, are things to be proud of. Although I found the site very late I am looking regularly.
Well done on the achievements and content to date. Keep in coming in 2008.
“Poet and didn’t know it” moment there!
