Celebrating This Blog’s First Anniversary
Today is the first anniversary of Owning A Cafe and I would like to celebrate it by putting on record the statistics it gathered and recognitions it received on its first year of existence. I will also put my birthday wishes for it this year. I hope you will join me in celebrating this special day by putting your comments on anything you find appreciable on this blog. While I am always trying to do my best in satisfying all of my readers, I also know that my site can still stand a lot of improvement for it to stay long in the blogosphere. Feel free also to write the additions and deletions that my blog need and I will appreciate just like the praises that some of you had already made.
From January 11, 2009 to this day, I had posted 253 articles at Owning A Café including this one. For all those posts, this blog received 456 comments including my responses to some of them while my WP-Spamfree reported 5,108 spams caught or filtered. I do not have the approximate number of visitors because I changed from one site monitor to other until I settled down to using WP-Stats some three (3) months ago and its record currently shows 75,000+ total views. Take note that these statistics were achieved despite the more than two (2) months temporary stoppage in my blogging due to the disaster I had when my place got flooded due to Typhoon Ondoy in September 26, 2009.
On the achievement side, Owning A Café got nominated and landed as a national finalist in the Blog of the Year – Business Category of the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards. This blog currently has Google PageRank 3 and Alexa Rating of 310,212 (it was already 160,000+ before I stop blogging temporarily). More than anything, what I treasure most among my achievements are the positive reviews and comments that this blog received from my peers in the blogosphere.
As a birthday celebrant, it is customary for me to make a wish that I hope to become true within this 2010 so here is my utmost dream for Owning A Cafe for this year. I wish to reach more of my target audience for my blogs and these are the stakeholders in the Philippine i-cafe industry. I want to be of real service to them by providing useful information that could help make a better i-café industry in the coming days and years.
Happy anniversary. A great number for your anniversary hehe. 011110 (January 11, 2010). =)

Wow yeah, next year’s anniversary would be even better! 011111!
Thank you to both of you for the greetings. Don’t you advise that I slowdown in my postings or else my blog may become the thrash can of i-cafe terminologies. 🙂
Happy birthday to your blog! You are offering a resource to would-be and current i-cafe owners and should my brother wish to entertain (seriously) the idea of setting up one, you would be an authority we would go to!
Congratulations and may you have more successes in the second year of Owning a Cafe!
