2012 in review: a Big Thank You to all my Readers

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 15,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 3 Film Festivals

I would just like to say a big heartfelt thank you to all my readers; your support and encouragement has kept me going throughout the past year.

A blog is nothing without comments, and your comments have made my blog what it is.

I am so proud to be a part of our blogging community here; you have all become a big part of my life and I thank you for that.

My One Year Blogiversary

My Blog is One Year Old!

 

 

I have been blogging for a whole year now and want to share my 1st Year Blogiversary with you !

It has gone so fast, but it feels like only yesterday that I hopped onto this roller coaster journey into the world of blogging . . . that has become such a big part of my life.

My thanks go to Classy Rose (I know some of you will remember her), for getting me started on my blogging journey back in January 2011. She not only encouraged me to start blogging, but persuaded me to join the Postaday 2011 or Postaweek 2011 Challenge. I opted for the latter – mainly because I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up with posting daily – and for those of you who did, you have my utter admiration for your stamina in keeping it up!

So, my first year is under my belt and I’m still here, churning out posts, continually connecting with new and exciting blogs, and taking on more Challenges as time permits. I have discovered that I have a voice and that I have something worthwhile to say – and I like it! The more I write, the more I discover the real me!

 

For me, the best part about blogging has been making so many friends here – friends whom I feel I have come to know quite well, because we all reveal little bits of ourselves in our posts!

We have a great blogging community here, and I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read my posts, for all your comments, and for all your selfless support over the past year –

                        I couldn’t have done it without you – you rock! 

 

 

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

 

I decided not to do the postaday challenge, choosing the postaweek challenge instead, so my stats are a lot

lower than many of you who opted for the daily challenge – and I take my hat off to you!

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 10,000 times in 2011.

 (WP short-changed me there, because in actual fact, it was 11,104).

If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

I appreciate each and every one of you.

Because you my blog has thrived!
