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.

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!

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
