Day 12 – How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

October 7, 2011 By Africa

Day 12 – How you found out about Blogger WORDPRESS and why you made one

Again, as I am the author of this 30 day blog challenge, I am changing this entry to refer to WordPress and not Blogger, guess I missed this when I posted the original blog.

I found out about WordPress through Danielle Pelton (mrandmrspelton).  Danielle is Jeanna’s sister-in-law.  She blogged, I thought it’d be fun, had been wondering about blogging.
At first I made my blog private and I used it more as a journal then a blog for public viewing.  But that got old fast, so I changed it up, made it public, removed the ‘journal’ entries and hoped to get more readers, subscribers, etc.  If you look at my post from today, Flash Back Friday, there is a link there to my very first blog post, which was a little over a year ago.

Fast forward one year – I now love blogging, I have SO much to learn its almost daunting, I am up to 14 blog subscribers and the daily site hits are growing.  I do this because I enjoy it, sometimes I rant, sometimes I just blog about interesting things going on in my life and now I’ve embarked on this 30 day challenge.  Recently a friend made a blog badge for me, my very own blog badge (I was super excited), see it below:

Click on this takes you directly to my home page.  Isn’t that sweet??  Please feel free to grab my badge (html code on home page) and put it up on your blog (I can hope right!).  I’ve made some new friends through blogging, that’s a definite plus.  And I read more now, reading others blogs  🙂
That I guess is: How I found out about Blogger WORDPRESS and why I made one
