If No One Read My Blog...

Wanted to do a short little post from the prompt "If no one ever read your blog would you continue to post? Why or why not?"

If no one ever read my blog I feel like I would still keep writing it. I wrote this blog for a long time before I had any real significant traffic and I imagine that I would keep writing even if my traffic were to dip again.

This blog is more than just a blog to me; it is an emotional and personal outlet. I can write whatever is on my mind or I can be random and goofy. Plus, I like to imagine that anyone who does read my blog, by just being myself, I can bring them a little piece of joy if it is a smile, a chuckle or whatever.

For those of you out there who do read my blog or just stumble across it, I hope you enjoy what I have put up here and I hope that in some small way maybe I make your day a little bit brighter.

Blogging 201: Day 2 - Audit Your Brand.

Today's challenge was all about re-evaluating and examining "how does my blog communicate." The assignment was to really look at each way that my blog is portrayed: the theme, the post titles, widgets, images, etc. It was all about getting to the nitty-gritty of what comprises your blog and "audit your brand."

After careful consideration I decided that I am actually really happy with the way my blog is portrayed. It represents me, it is consistent, fun (or at least I think it is), and not over crowded.

My goal for this assignment are:
     1. Make sure that I remain consistent
     2. All information is up to date
     3. That my blog communicates well.

Let me know if I slip up on any of these or you think I could improve. Suggestions are always excepted!

Blogging 201: Day One. My Goals for this Blog.

Today the Daily Post's Blogging 201 challenge started.  I am super excited to be participated in this since I also participated in Zero to Hero (Blogging 101).

For the first post of this challenge I wanted to share with you three goals that I have for this blog, here we go!

1. Publish three times each week through June.  I know I have been sporadic in the past about when I post so this goal is to help me establish consistency and a pattern.

2. Increase my blog traffic by 20% by June. I honestly don't know how many people read this blog but I would love to see my reading base expand. (Also, for those of you out there who do read this it would mean the world to me to leave a comment and let me know you were here. Give me feedback, misc comment, anything!)

3. Finally, I want to create a community. I want to be able to talk to my readers, have conversations and just connect with you out there.

P.S. Let me know if I should set up a Facebook page for this blog. Also, I have a personal twitter but would it be a smart move to create a separate one for blogging?
