It snuck up on me. How could I have overlooked this? A minor blip in my life is, as of two weeks ago, I completed one year of writing this blog, and I never missed a week. It has been both a challenge and fun.
Over the 52 weeks, I completed 63 posts. I doubled up for a short while with my US posts in order to get us to Panamá. I also wrote a few Monday Chats. Currently, I have 57 followers, which is a miniscule number compared to most other blogs. I continue to try to increase my number of followers, but I’m up against one million other blogs in the world.
As of today (Friday 10/14), I have had 2,133 visitors to my site from the US and 605 from Panamá. In addition, I have had 301 visitors from 36 other countries. I am pleased to have reached 3,039 people but disheartened as I have managed to secure only 57 followers.
I have turned to social media to try to get more exposure. At the moment, I appear on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Medium and other occasional locations. My posts also include a tiny URL at the bottom for you to share with others. I recently created a website (SecondHarvestBooks.com) which features the books I’ve written. My attempt with this is to promote some cross-fertilization.
Still, I’m not giving up. I will continue to write a weekly post. With the wane of Covid, I hope to add more traveling to my life. As long as I can afford to do so, I will search for more stories to share with you.
I wish to express my thanks to each of you for having stuck with me for the last year. This blog would be of no value without you.
Congrats on (more than) a year Warren!
Congratulations on your first blog birthday, Warren! Keep on blogging!
