Over 100 followers, posting consistently, comments on every post (maybe not many, but there are some), 2 days with 100+ views. It's a good start. Thanks for the reminder to look for what I can celebrate, Edie! I often forget to look for the forward progress.

I celebrated once I finally found my focus-Christian living with an emphasis on family life. I still branch out on occasion but honing in on my passion to encourage others in their life journeys is liberating. It always brings a smile to my face when I scroll down my list of followers, down to the very first one. When I see your face there, Edie, I thank God for you and the time & encouragement you give to so many.

My blog has a place for Google followers, but I don't have one for E-mail sign-ups. Is it the same thing? I am pretty sure I need to get someone knowledgeable to help me revamp my main page. My daughter talked me through the initial set up and it has been pretty much the same every since. I am at the three year mark and have several posts with over a 100 hits. When I do a new post I get about 25-30 right away and then it slows down. I haven't gotten a lot of comments. Even on the ones that seem to get a life of their own. Which to me is what happens when and older post starts getting lots of hits.Ric 'The Turtle' Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557268545385347913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-5313158938949430292014-09-08T10:19:59.162-04:002014-09-08T10:19:59.162-04:00Some of these milestones I've achieved, others...Some of these milestones I've achieved, others I haven't.

Every time I forgot to post or was feeling lazy and not knowing what to blog about, I could hear you saying, "Be consistent in your blog posting". That has helped me stay on track.

I just passed my one year milestone, just changed the look of my site to something more current, and have kept to a regular publishing schedule. I have had some great comments--some not so great, and I've learned so much. But today, as I get ready to post my 167th post, I find myself discouraged. You've caused me to look back at all the milestones, and get back to work. As always, I'm glad I stopped in. Crystal Thieringerhttp://crystalthieringer.comnoreply@blogger.com
