    January 1, 2019 / 12 Comments

    January 1, 2019 / 7 Comments

    Did you compile your 2018 Blog Stats? Are you making 2019 blog goals? This isn’t something I’ve done in the past, but I really want to bolster my blog this year, so I decided to post these updates every 6 months. I will be excited to learn more about my posting trends and the reading habits of my visitors. Hopefully, as a result, I can improve my blog and readership.

    Did you making reading resolutions for 2018? Are you going to make them for 2019? I only started blogging in May…and I never really set a goal or anything. Other than to track my reads. Now that a new year is turning over, I want to be sure to get some smart goals down on paper.
