Congratulations to the mighty three and their fantastic crew of editors. BlogHer is one fine mesh of connecting interests, opinions, and dialogue. Thank you for all of your time and effort.

I've every confidence that you will meet (and most likely) exceed your plans for 2007, given how you met (and, in my opinion, wildly exceeded) your hopes for 2006.

I'm proud of you all, and happy that so many have benefited from the fruits of that original vision. Maybe this is a timely moment to remind people that those who have benefited most have probably done so in proportion to the level of their involvement? Do-ocracy, anybody? :)

With July in Chicago now a "this year, not next year" concept, let's not forget the old adage about the more you put in, the more you get out. Instead of just turning up to the conference and expecting it all to be handed on a plate... or reading the site's content, but rarely engaging in comments or forum discussions... join in! Make it even better. (And yes, I realise that the accusation of inactivity is just as applicable to me.)

Blogher Rocks! Thank you Lisa, Jory, and Elisa. I'm proud to be a part of this amazing network!

Congratulations to everyone on the one year anniversary here and many more returns of the day!

I cannot wait to see the upcoming redesign. I am so proud to be a part of this community (I'm missing from the contributor's page...booo!). :)

And right back at you all!

And Koan: thanks, as ever, for your graceful but timely reminders about the spirit of do-ocracy. For those of you who may be newer to BlogHer, and to that word, you can find our original definition of do-ocracy here, and more about what do-ocracy looks like in action on this page.

Happy Anniversary to us all :)

Oh, yay. Happy Birthday, BlogHer. I'm a day late, as usual. No offense meant at all. I'm just always late with birthday cards and gifts and general well-wishings.

I must say that BlogHer has been a positive online influence in my life in the past year. I've met some great ladies and hope to continue meeting more.

Here's to a great 2007!

Congrats to you all -- Lisa, Elisa, Jory and all the CEs who've made this site such a destination!

I can't believe it's been a year already, and yet in some ways it seems like the launch happened two lifetimes ago. May the coming year bring even more success!

Congratulations on your birth one year ago and your continued growth and success today. And thank you for creating such an incredible and diverse forum. I was thrilled to find you when I did. I relish my daily visits.

Cheers!

In the year that it has been around, BlogHer has forged so many important connections to ideas and people that I can hardly believe it's only been a year! Congrats to Lisa, Jory, and Elisa, and all the other awesome editors. I am so proud and pleased to be working virtually by your sides. (Choking up.) Here's to another fantastic year!

BlogHer has truly been one of the best things in my life since my spontaneous decision to go to BlogHer 2005. Thanks so much to everyone who contributes and works so hard to make it so awesome. :)

I blog at Everyday Goddess, The SexySmart Blog, and On The Lot.

Wow. It seems like BlogHer has always been here! This is pretty much the only place I can stomach reading news and enjoy reading about relationships.

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing all of these AMAZING women together!

I have laughed and cried and learned and been inspired.

I learned feminism is NOT a dirty word! And I've become even more dedicated to inspiring and supporting other women (I started interviewing women in design so that I can share their stories of success and support systems and inspire other women that they can thrive in a male-dominated field).

~standing round of applause~ Don't know how to thank all of these fabulous, brilliant women enough!

I spend hours each week reading the BlogHer blogs and forums and scrolling through the blogrolls. This is an incredible and vibrant community with so much to offer the world.

I leave birthday wishes for a seamless transition to the new look and feel of BlogHer in March, and another successful earth-changing year.

Hi everyone,

I'm just in from a wild and crazy day to find these incredible messages. Thank you, all of you. Here's to the next 12 months and the conversations to come.

Last night when I arrived at my hotel in Seattle I sent a message..or I thought a sent a birthday message...must not have hit the post button. What I said yesterday, holds true today..a day after the birthday. Being part of this organization is an honor. While I was waiting for my delayed plane, a woman sitting next to me asked what I did. I shared I was a marketing consultant, a blogger and a contributing editor to Blogher..a network of women bloggers. It makes me smile every time I say it.

Thank you for making this a wonderful year. I feel privileged to be part of this network and am inspired by the talent and dedication of the people who are making Blogher what it is.

Happy birthday!

I am very excited to hear about the site re-design. The current design has really grated on my nerves - a lot of the text shows up pixelated and tiny on my iBook and makes things hard to read.

The interface is somewhat confusing to use as well. I know it is a major challenge organizing all of the amazing content here. I'm not a huge design corporation but I have 5+ years experience designing websites for women if any additional help/input is needed (ha, I'm so sure!). I look forward to the changes.
