Happy Birthday, BAM’s Blog!
I’m please to announce that today marks the one-year anniversary of BAM’s Blog!
The blog started Feb. 14, 2008, with my first post: a list of recommended Valentine’s Day movies. An updated and modified version of the post appeared in The Oklahoman and here on the blog Friday.
Since then, the blog has featured more than 2,060 posts and 1,140 comments in 65 different categories. I’ve live-blogged the Oscars, “American Idol” finale, the Golden Globes and the three major country music shows: The CMT Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards.
Besides regular stories, reviews, features and videos, I’ve invited you to celebrate a variety of special days of extended coverage, including Carrie Underwood Day, “Twilight” Day, Metallica Day, Jonas Brothers Day and Eddie Izzard Week.
BAM’s Blog finished 2008 as The Oklahoman and NewsOK’s top blog of the year. And I have you, my loyal readers, to thank for the success. Thank you so much for reading my ramblings, commenting on my musings and adding the blog to your favorites or blogroll. I appreciate your support.
There’s plenty more to come as we enter Year 2, with my second Oscars live-blog coming up Sunday and an ACMs live-blog planned for April. That’s in addition to the usual slew of daily stories, news updates and event listings.
If you have suggestions for the blog, please feel free to share them in the comments.
Here’s to another great year!

Happy first anniversary for the blog. Congrats for doing your part to reduce workplace productivity across America. Let’s all live the dream!!!
No suggestions here, I just wanted to say that I wish I’d known earlier that my old pal BAM was doing this and I’ve been enjoying it since tripping over you. Congrats on a year doing it. New media rules! *horns*
Congratulations, BAM! I had no idea it had been a year, yet it seems like I don’t even remember not checking in with you every day.
Also, I’m a little worried about how many of those 1,140 comments were mine. I hope nobody counts them up. I don’t need scientific evidence that I have no life.
