I jumped into this whole blogging thing not knowing a thing. A year and half later, I've learned so much and can't wait for what 2010 holds. The blogging community has welcomed me with open arms, and pushed me to places I never thought I would be. I'm convinced I have the best readers on the planet!
I finally decided that since I've seen great success mapping out annual goals, that I should jump in and make goals for my blog as well.
1. Stay on top of my Inbox. All of your comments come to my email box so that I can respond to you directly, unless you've not provided your email address on your account. I need to stay on top of answering these, as well as all the other emails I get.
2. Balance Social Media. Oh how I've come to love Twitter, Facebook, and Skype. Now, if I could learn to balance all of these things so I'm not sucked into the computer all day. I'm a mother and a wife first.
3. Network with other bloggers. I've been stuck in my own little piece in blog land for quite some time. There is huge strength in numbers, and I need to "get out" more--of course with balance.
4. Tackle Vlogging. I've wanted to do this for quite sometime, just never did it. I think this will be perfect for the gardening season, so I can really show things.
5. Move to WordPress. I've put it off long enough..2010 is THE year for me!
6. Conduct a Poll. For the most part, I've not run out of things to say on here. However, I want to insure that I'm dishing out quality material for my readers. In the next few weeks I hope to put together a survey to find out what you all want to see.
7. Grow! I would love to double my subscribers and up my pageviews (double, triple?)
8. Be active in my forum, as well as others. BlogFrog is a great place to get to connect with other women, if only I would take advantage of it.
9. Create a Meme. I loved doing Finding Freedom Friday last year. I stopped it because I thought it was morphing into another Frugal Friday. Ive not axed the idea of bringing it back, I just need to re-evaluate.
10. Learn to take quality photographs. Mine stink..'nuff said.

Staying on top of the inbox...something I too aspire to! Great goals!
So, I have been contemplating moving my blog. I am curious what the benefit of going to wordpress is though? I looked at their site and I don't get it. Maybe I just don't know enough about the tech side of things, but what is the benefit of wordpress over blogger, if you don't mind me asking. thanks!
Ugh to balance ... it's so hard!! I've got to work on that one for 2010 too. Like right now ... I should be in bed!!!
Looking forward to meeting you!

I am SO glad that I stopped by your blog today and saw your blogging goals. I have watched you blog, over the last year, grow with leaps and bounds and I can't to see what 2010 brings you.
If you ever need help with moving to Wordpress from Blogger I would be more than happy to help you and host you on my server. I will be opening up a new business online that hosts Wordpress blogs for just $20 a year. I'm really excited about this because I know how nervous I was when I moved from Blogger to Wordpress.
Take care,
Shynea
i just found your blog and I love it! You mentioned that you'd like to take better pictures... I am a portrait photographer and could give you some tips. I have not done product photography though. Keep up the great tips!
