State of the Blog Address – February 2015

February. I’m glad to see you go.  Here in Massachusetts we were buried in snow.  Like 9 feet of snow and that is not an exaggeration. Roofs collapsed.  Roof dams became a part of our daily vernacular.  Giant snow banks caused car accidents (just ask me, I know first hand).  Every time I see an Instagram post that says “It’s snowing!!!” I want to reach through the phone screen and say, “That is not snow!  THIS is snow”, in my best Crocodile Dundee impression. It was quite depressing, actually.  I didn’t have a whole of motivation for blogging, or anything else for that matter.  (Don’t worry, March has already started out much better!  I could hear melting happening all day today!).  So with that disclaimer, here is the State of the Blog for February 2015.

State of the Blog Address February 2015

Goal #1

Increase social media presence/followers

  • Pinterest – 550 Followers –  Lofty goal in  short month!  Achieved!  552
  • Twitter – 70 Followers – Not Achieved – 66
  • Bloglovin & WordPress – 34 Followers – Not Achieved – 32

Goal #2

Hold steady with page views.  This month is three days shorter and while I am close to the same average page views, I’ll be happy if I can stay around 8k page views this month. Achieved!  7700 page views in this short month

Goal #3

Work again on the look of the blog.  I think the header picture needs an update.  Same pic, just crisper. – Not achieved

Goal #4

Get back to more house posts.  I love craft stuff, but I don’t want to leave the home decor in the dust.  Achieved!  I did a post on a fun update to the bedroom.

Goal #5

Find and start a free photography tutorial.  (I’m cheating a little on this because I have already found one.  I just haven’t started it!)  Not achieved.  Carrying over to next month!
