Blog Sparkle 600
Posted in Mixed Bag and tagged with Celebration on March 31, 2009Today’s post is number 600. SIX HUNDRED. What in the world have I said for the last 600 posts?
I feel like this spring I’ve lost a bit of my blog sparkle. Perhaps I’ve pushed it by posting too much, perhaps I’ve let tax season get the best of me, perhaps reading fewer blogs and books has withdrawn creative catalysts from my life, or perhaps there’s really a limit on how much this talkative girl can say.
To wish me “happy 600 posts,” I would like you to help me come up with ideas to celebrate my 3rd blogiversary that’s coming up in a month and a half. Any ideas? Please? Someone? Anyone?

“Creative catalyst.” Your vocabulary is awesome!
Maybe write about family, friends, and your writing?

I agree. How about a little personal insight into you? Could we even go as far as a photo? (Gasp!)
Did you notice that something has been missing from your blog? It might have appeared around the time I stopped commenting? I’m sorry about all that. I took a little hiatus from the blogosphere, but I couldn’t stay away too long. After a break, I had to come by again and see what you’ve been up to.
Glad that I did.

Happy 600th post!!
Stopping over from SITS to say HI. Your site is so cute! Saw your mention of the 600th post in roll call. Congrats!

1. Give away a million dollars
2. Or just a vacation to an exotic island
3. Or just a Gift card (for $600 or 600 pennies or somewhere in between)
4. Or highlight some of your favorite older posts that new readers will not have read
Just a couple ideas!

600? Yowza. That’s a lot.
Congratulations!!
You should do a giveaway…600 mg. of your favorite drink. :-)

WOW-ZAH! 600 posts! That is amazing!
How about try to get 600 comments?

I couldn’t even imagine 600 posts. Wow. 550 of my posts would be considered pretty boring, so you’ve gotten me beaten – by a mile :)

Future posts? How about writing about your hopes for the future … 1 year, 5 years, 10 years from now.

600? Wow!
How ’bout your story – why you started your blog (both of them…since IH is relatively new)

I love all these ideas, thanks!

A video post! :o)
I’ve been away for some time, and really haven’t come back very well either. lol Hopefully soon! In the mean time, you just keep tallying up those post counts, because you are LIGHT YEARS ahead of me! rofl

Congratulations on the 600 posts and your upcoming anniversary.
You’ve got over a month to look back at your previous posts. On your third anniversary how about creating a list that points to some of the posts from the past few years? You can highlight your favourite post, your most visited post, your longest post, your shortest post, the post which attracted the most discussion etc.

Wow! 600! That is a lot to say :)
Congrats.
mmmmmm….thinking of an idea. thinking of an idea.
Will have to come back. How about that million dollar giveaway idea Vicki mentioned?
Thanks a bunch for visiting me on my SITS day!

I’m with Vicki on this one!

WOO HOO! Happy 600 posts! You know, I have no idea how many I have done. I will have to check that out.
OK, three year blogiversary…. thinking…. you could have a blog party. Every commentor has to volunteer to bring something to the party (like I would say plates and napkins and describe them or something) … no, maybe not. Thinking again ….. Everyone has to write a random word. Then you have to write a story incoporating everyone’s word (I might say twinkle-lights). Thinking….. encourage your readers to make you laugh or smile by dropping a link to a YouTube video in the comments (I might link to the video “Validation”). I’m done now. :)

Take some time off :) We all need it every once in a while and a celebration sounds like a good time for it.

i’m suffering a bit of a blog slump myself….lack of comments, and so on. sigh….
you could take some time off (not that I am advocating that, I like reading your blog) but it is quite a milestone.

I’m a visual person. I need pictures.
Congratulations on 3 years and 600 post. I’m still a baby blogger about 9 mos old or so.

600? Dude I think I jut barely did my 200th! lol congrats girl! Keep talkin!

Okay, I had to think on this one :) First, congrats on 600, and on three years! Wow!
My suggestion, if you’re going to do a giveaway, I saw someone on the SITS giveaway carnival did a “I’ll donate to your favorite charity” giveaway. That was my absolute favorite giveaway of the day. I don’t know if a giveaway is what you want to do, though. A fun “collection of stuff about me” post would be fun, too!
Congrats again :)
