Hello again and Happy New Year!  Like you, my last post was all about my New Year's Resolutions and how I want to grow my blog in 2016.  With this, I took to the blogging networks and asked other bloggers a few questions about Social Sharing. I asked each blogger how many monthly views they have, their top three referring sites, and any tips they would like to share about social sharing. I am very pleased to say that I gathered quite a bit of information from fellow bloggers and would like to share it with you all here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This ...

Happy 2016 Everyone!  I just rounded out my first year, well half year, of blogging and decided to share my stats and goals.

Hello again!  It's been a few month's since I've really been involved with my blog.  At the beginning of September, I did a lot of behind the scenes.  My main focus was switching from Blogger to WordPress.com so my site would look more aesthetically pleasing.  Now, the site is fully transferred, except for losing all of the stats...Boo :(, so I figured I would give you all an update. It's been an interesting mind game to see views in the single digits for a day since I was used to being in the double digits each day, but my stats ...
