Jess crossing the finish line of the 2011 Erie marathon.
In the month of March I set out to blog consistently. And I can very proudly say I did exactly that. Here is what I learned along the way...
Blogging is hard work.
Hard work is relative of course, I would much rather be sitting here typing into a screen than carrying bricks up a hill or running a marathon. In the past two months I’ve written about the why and the how of blogging. But for it to actually take off, it has to be met with some hard work to get it going and keep it going.
But that hard work pays off. According to Blogger stats:
In January of 2012 I posted 0 blog posts and had 127 pageviews.
In February I posted 4 blog posts and had 810 pageviews.
In March I posted 14 blog posts and had 1677 pageviews.
I guess the real test will be to see if April's page views are much higher than March or not. Here's to more consistent blogging!
