Happy Birthday To MeAndMyDrum!
MeAndMyDrum turns 90 days old today! In that short time I’ve learned a lot about blogging and met some really great people along the way. In fact, the experiences I’ve had from this one have impacted the way I run my other blog about web safety.
Since MAMD was born I’ve gone from, “Ohmygosh, how will I ever get out of the 7-digit Alexa ranking” to “Hey, maybe I can improve that thing after all.”
I don’t recall the first number I had in Alexa other than the “1,8XX,XXX”, but after comparing that to what it was on May 16 (318,686), I’d have to say that I’m pleased. 
My Technorati authority continues to rise and finally broke the 3-digit barrier last week (currently sitting at 104).
Google pagerank remains at 3.
To celebrate, I’ll be putting on a contest. More about that in another post, so stay tuned!

Hey happy 3 months buddy! Things just seem to get better and better.
Not that I’m complaining but … um where’s the free beer?
Mark | May 21, 2007 | Reply
LOL
Yes, they do! As for the beer, hmmm, I sent it to you. You didn’t get it?
Mike, you know anything about that?
Mike | May 21, 2007 | Reply
Beer, what beer?? Nope I don’t know a thing about that.

@Mark:
All I got was the label
@Mike:
If you drank all the beer, send me the chips

I’d like to wish your blog a happy birthday and many more months/years to come

You’re totally welcome to have the chips. I’ve never been much of potato chips kind of guy
Now pretzels on the other hand…we’d probably need to have some sort of MTV style death match for those. I don’t give those up without a fight

@Tay: Thank you! I really appreciate that. Be sure to check out my contest (of which I’m going to update shortly).
@Mike: agreed, potato chips are good but only if they’re flavored with something else: cheddar and sour cream, sour cream and onion. Wait…I guess that’s the reason for my waistline. Okay, starting tomorrow I’m jogging.

@Mike:
. Oh, when you send the chips don’t forget the dip 
Ahh pretzels are against my religion
