Thank you to the thousands of you who took time to fill out our reader survey this past week. Your input was invaluable and so much was gleaned from what you shared. Hopefully, you’ll see continued improvements to this site as a result. Just a few notes I wanted to make:
::Survey Winner
The winner of the $500 Visa gift card was Melinda M. (MelMazzocco@). We’ve been in contact with Melinda and will be shipping her gift card out in the next week. Thanks to everyone who participated.
::LITE Feed
A number of you commented and said you didn’t know there was a LITE Feed for MoneySavingMom. Well, it’s a new feature and I’ve not actually really mentioned it. If you come here mostly to read the content posts and aren’t too interested in the deals, then the LITE Feed is likely for you. It contains all non-deal posts — usually 1-3 per day. You can subscribe via email or RSS reader here.
::You Mean I’m Supposed to Finish What I Start??
Probably the number one thing mentioned over and over and over again by you all was that you wish I would do a better job of finishing series after I start them. Ah, you noticed that I’m a very great starter and a very bad finisher, didn’t you? 🙁 (You should see how many books I often have started at once; it’s pathetic!)
This is an area I really need to work on, so I’m going to make a commitment to you that I will not begin another series until I have finished the series I am currently running (31 Days to a Better Grocery Budget series, Saving 100% Down for a Home series and–yes!–the Becoming a Work-At-Home Mom series — which fell by the wayside awhile ago!)
From here on out, I’m also not going to start posting a series until I actually have it finished first. That way, I can put the posts up in a timely manner instead of letting them constantly get shelved and forgotten. And you’ll know when to expect the posts, instead of wondering if I’m ever going to post another part of the series or if I completely forgot about it!
Thank you for your patience with me as I’m often a rather scatter-brained blogger; I’m aiming to work a great deal on becoming a more-organized and purposeful blogger this year. I’m a work in progress and have a long way to go, so I appreciate you bearing with me. Someday, maybe I’ll have my act all together when it comes to blogging. 🙂
