When you started your blog, did you set any goals? Have you achieved them? Have they changed at all?
When I fist started this blog in July of 2012, I had two goals, could I keep posting on a regular basis and could I last more than six months. My fear when starting this was that I would not force myself to be disciplined enough to write on a regular basis. I try to post on a daily basis to keep myself in the routine, my fear has been that if I started skipping a day here and a day there then I would eventually just stop.
Overall I am pleased that I have been able to stick with this. I have posted 270 times in ten months. I am enjoying blogging and the people who I read are amazing writers, photographers, and poets. Some great people have been kind enough to comment on my material, offer advice and support, something I never thought would happen.
Now as I complete my first year of blogging, I have been trying to decide what direction I want to take it, what new goals do I want to set for myself. My main goal of trying to post daily will still be there, but I think it is time to look at what is next, where do I want to take my blog.

Congrats. Hey you. Congrats. Takes diligence to keep a blog interesting and going. I have goals I guess to keep content fresh, regular, to network but I really want to inspire others. Lofty I know.
I like your goals, I know it is hard for me to do those things but I keep trying.
Happy Anniversary!! Isn’t the blogosphere amazing? I set myself a similar goal of posting daily for 2013 but I now find that I can’t keep it up. I’m amazed at those who can do it. Here’s to more posts, meeting new people and having fun. Cheers, Mary.
Yes I hope I can meet new people and get to know better the ones I have been able to meet. Thank you very much for the kind words.
When I start blogging,my goal is to get as many visitors as I can. Well, it was quite successful until first WordPress and then later Blogger disrupted me and now I have re-established all over again this time on my own self-hosted self-paid site. Traffic rate is not as fast as in the past. I still maintain the 5-posting per week routine. I will like to last as long as I can. Quitting and giving up is not just for me. You can call me either stubborn or perseverance !
I hope to last for along time also, giving up on this blog is not for me either.
and……..it led to front range radio! Isn’t it funny how one thing always leads to another?! 🙂
Yes it is, although I never planned it but it has been a fun experience
I’m nearly to 2 years–but that includes ending one blog, starting the current one–so there wasn’t really much of an interruption. I call it my unpaid job–which provides structure and great satisfaction. God bless you as you keep on keepin’ on.
Thank you for your kind words
