During the week of March 7-14, 2008, 5 Minutes for Mom hosted the “Ultimate Blog Party” where bloggers write a little post about themselves and then sign Mr. Linky over at 5 Minutes for Mom inviting other bloggers to stop by. This was our opportunity to meet new friends and party blogger-style at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008!
There were around 1,400 participants (1,493 participants linked, but many double and tripled linked)-WOW! Many people came to visit me and I returned the favor, visiting them. I also visited many blogs. I have also gained some new Blog Buddies! Some of my current Blog Buddies were at the party too! I really enjoyed this~but I am about partied out!
