We Made This Blog is 1 today

Birthday

It's zipped by in the blink of an eye, but today the We Made This blog is one year old.

And we've come a long way baby.

18,367 page views (according to Technorati), and links from 45 blogs so far, including the rather wonderful Dan Germain, Tantramar, Ace Jet 170 and Swiss Miss. We've got 84 subscribers (according to Feed Burner), mainly using Google Reader and Bloglines. We were even one of Typepad's Featured Blogs.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback and comments, and we look forward to many happy returns. (And for a full list of what's gone before, click the ARCHIVES link on the right.)

Now, where's that cake...
