Well, here we are at the beginning of 2013 and it was on New Years Eve a year ago that I sat with my brother-in-law Howard and got myself a GoDaddy account.
And then my sweet sister, Eileen, walked me through the steps of making it look beautiful.
And then there was a blog post by SouleMama that led to hundreds of pageviews within a couple of days time.
Thank goodness I had something to post about!!
And since then I've kind of bumbled along, posting here and there - sometimes more often, more times less often. Life is full and sometimes the blog would get less attention...
Having said that, here are the stats for Year One:
3421 Lifetime Pageviews
3.10 Pageviews/Day
52 Total Posts
42 Total Comments
Not too bad! I will say that I'm really pleased with how it's been going. It's a lot of fun, it's a great way to share what I've been up to in my arty world not to mention things I just appreciate about life in general.
And I'm sure that if I hadn't documented some of the year's events in this format I would have surely forgotten about them.
So here's to another fruitful year at Orange Sweater. I'll be back soon with another post about hopes and goals for 2013.
In the meantime, a heartfelt THANK YOU to all my wonderful blog readers. I love that you take the time to come and visit and I'm grateful for your readership, indeed.
All my best to all of you for a very Happy, Creative and Peaceful New Year!
~ Emily
