Setting Blogging Goals for the New Year

By Leave a Comment

It can be exciting to look back over the past year and see how much has changed or how much you've grown. Many bloggers are taking some time to choose a "one word" focus for the coming year and/or sharing their goals for the upcoming 12 months. We thought it would be fun to do something similar, but with blogging goals instead! Wednesday we'll post a linky that will be open for two weeks. This will be a space where you can link up your own ...

What makes a great blog?

By Leave a Comment

I often wonder what makes a great blog.  Is it the time that the blog has been around? Is it the person behind the blog? Is it the content? Is it the readers? I fall back on this last one…. it is the readers. It is the readers that make a blog successful. It is the readers that encourage the blogger. It is the readers that make the writer feel like they are helping someone. It is YOU.  Today I just wanted to take a minute, from all of us, ...

Why I’m (not) Jumping Off the Facebook Bandwagon

By Leave a Comment

The last few weeks have been filled with blogger-rage as facebook admitted that the organic reach of pages is really not cutting it anymore. They are encouraging page owners to purchase promotion packages just to reach more of the fans that already like their page. Most of us cannot afford to pay for our reach, and it's rather confusing why we would need to pay to reach people who have already asked to see our posts (by liking our page)...but I ...

Keep kids busy while you work … my little blogging secret

By Leave a Comment

Today I was driving in the car and I heard the song "Lead Me" come on the radio.   I heard the part that said "I'm working hard.  I tell myself I'll be fine.  They're independent.  But on the inside… I can hear them saying Lead Me, with strong hands.  Stand up, when I can't.  Don't leave me hungry for love… chasing dreams.   But what about us?" I try not to blog much when my four kids are awake.  I actually try not to blog at all when they are ...
