I do a little bit of social-media-ing, but frankly, my blog is my hobby and not my job, so if it were my job I'd put more effort into it! If I spend too much time on it, it will feel like work and not a hobby!! So, depending on how you view your blog - hobby or job - should depend on how much time and worry you should spend about the numbers!!!

What a wonderful trip you are taking! &qu...Hi Lisa! What a wonderful trip you are taking! "Colorful" - just like your cute ideas!<br />I agree with you that blogging takes up time. I barely have a moment to visit and comment at my faves lately. But my site is an outlet that I think I'd miss if I didn't have it to post to. The first commenter made a valid observation. Too many blogs are now just full of nasty ads - blinking and popping and totally annoying. One won't let you link to her party unless you sign up for her newsletter. Not going back. Unfollowed her too. Sure I'm not the only one! You care more about us than you do about hauling in a pile of money. And something else you have is what those others don't - content! Delightful content! So, thank you for 3 great years! (and for listening to this rant!)

Amazing that you started not knowing anything to the super blogger you are.
