It helps me make improvements one at a time instead of being overwhelmed. I installed sitemeter today and I'm going to check out Blog at the library - it has been on my "wish" list but I just haven't gotten around to checking it out.

I had an idea in my head for awhile, and now that its all set up, I'm going to be doing something I love to do anyhow--write--in a capacity that might allow me to earn money while at the same time not taking away (too much:) from my fulltime job as a mom!

One of the main reasons I have enjoyed both of your blogs is that you blog from a personal perspective. Reading your posts leaves me with the feeling of “I just got to meet you!” and that’s pretty neat.

When I blog, that’s the feeling I try to give my readers too.

Take Care,

I agree with a previous comment that I find the most difficult thing about blogging is making the time for it! My daughter's nap times are great for blogging- but also for getting things done around the house. How do you manage?

I just started my blog and I wasn't sure if anyone was reading it. Now I'll know. This afternoon,I got a few emails from my friends saying that they liked it and one of them is buying Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover book! I was soo excited! I'm only blogging for fun and so my family/friends can catch some deals,too. But knowing that one of them may read Dave's book and have an eye-opening experience like me is just fantastic! Thanks for being so inspiring! I tell your website to anyone that will listen! :O) Thank you so much for the info. on SiteMeter! I just started my blog and I wasn’t sure if anyone was reading it.

I just taught a group of elementary and high school teachers about blogs for use in their classrooms, but I'm now ready to take the plunge myself. I appreciate your insight about streamlining your content and posting often. I am now on the lookout for high-quality blogs to model mine after. I know it will be unique, but I want to study the best. Any suggestions that you can share would be fantastic. You’ve inspired me to start blogging!

I can see where things I did well and not so well. Dana You have some awesome ideas here. To me the most important is to be yourself. My blog is just about me – and my quirky life.

I like that my grandmother in Washington State (who is not very computer savvy) is able to get on and see pictures and videos of my family (In GA) with relative ease. I love all that you have to say about bringing traffic, and like the previous poster, I am a little concerned about it monopolizing too much of my day. It's quite fun and addicting I must say. But I guess the easiest way to bring traffic is to just be yourself and make friends everywhere you go. Not necessarily hard core trying to bring traffic is it? But, I'm not in it for the glory...lol I’m still new to blogging, actually just started yesterday.
