When I started writing BMBY, just over a year ago, it was intended to be a sandbox for me to practice what I was trying to preach to my clients.
Fast forward twelve months and BMBY is an integral part of my life, from both a personal and professional standpoint. I have a great new job, exciting new career path and some great friends.
BMBY by the numbers:
- 12 months
- 3 jobs – thanks Strategic Objectives, Fleishman-Hillard and iStudio
- 269 posts
- 727 comments
- 400 (or so) subscribers
- 847 Technorati links
- 14,434th in the blogosphere (out of about 70m…nice)
- 34,391 page views
- 27,252 spam comments
- 1 speaking appearance…but open to more
- Countless new friends
I’m away for two weeks and definitely won’t be writing anything next week, but there are some draft posts saved that should pop-up intermittently throughout the week.
Finally, a huge thanks to all and sundry who take the time to read, comment, subscribe, criticise and link to the posts on this blog.
It’s been a great year, and, I hope, many more to come.






Hey, Ed, have a great vacation. I always enjoy your posts!
Ed,
How many random Aussies sleeping on your floor and stealing your TV remotes?
You rock mate.
What, no death threats or ruined friendships? You’re not trying hard enough!
Who would dare to critis/ze you? Now a grand debate is a whole different kettle of fish and you’ve certainly played host to a few of them. (I can’t claim a year’s worth of reading and commenting, but definitely nine months or so.)
I’ll be winging special thoughts your way next weekend, and then will look forward to some new “critical” insights from BMBY in a few weeks.
Cheers,
Judy
Those are some pretty impressive numbers. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for year 2.
Mazel Tov to you and Mya!
Eden
Ed,
Enjoy your vacation. Definitely enjoy the blog — look forward to your return.

Are we going to see a posting on the virtues of being a married man? I hope so! All the best Eddie! x
