February is over and it’s time to reflect on this month of blogging. Let’s first look at numbers because, even if everyone says they don’t pay attention to them, that’s probably not really true is it? We all write to be read and interacted with, otherwise we’d make our blogs private.

2024 Blogging Goals: Update
1. My number one goal is to keep writing every day. Even if I’m just answering some random blog prompt or telling you how my day went, it’s important that I keep my writing flowing.
Yes, I have been blogging every day!
2. I’d like to get to 3000 followers. I’ve been at 2700ish for a long time and would love to grow my audience.
I’m getting there. Currently at 2,866.
3. I’ll probably go self hosted at some point. I’ve been wondering if I should do it for years and it seems like the right thing for my blog. I’m just waiting on a specific domain to become available again.
Still waiting for my domain to become available.
4. I mean to start taking my own photos. I use a mix of stock photos and photos taken by me and I intend to use only photos I take myself.
Not really. I need to focus on this.
5. Back in 2017, I had 80.000 views. I really want to top that in 2024
Not sure I’ll be able to top that but we’ll see.
6. I want to go through all my posts, delete the ones I no longer want out there, reorganize my categories and add appropriate tags to all of them. Maybe I’ll repost my favorites.
Slowly going through all my posts.
7. I want to come up with a set blogging schedule.
Done.
8. I would love to find new blogs to follow and to connect with other bloggers. We used to be such a community and I truly miss it. Unfortunately, most of my favorite bloggers are no longer active and we’ve lost contact, which makes me really sad.
Yes! Which leads me to…
