What The Ultimate Blog Challenge Taught Me

It seems I am behind in posts . . . again.This time it isn't because I'm sick. This time it is because of what taking this challenge has taught me.

I have learned that I do not want to be a post every day blogger. Well at least at this time. At first I was able to keep ahead of the posts and always had two ready to go. Time and inspiration hasn't always allowed me to keep up. There is nothing worse to me than sitting in front of the computer screen staring at that blinking cursor and not knowing what to write.

I have learned that consistency is the key to having a well followed and loved blog. I think for me 2 or 3 posts a week will be about right.

I have learned a new way to get followers for my blog through Facebook using the Networked Blog app.

I have now followed and subscribed to a few new blogs that I am enjoying and sharing with others.


This post is part of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I am going to really get this blog going. So I decided I'd join the Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to post 31 posts in the month of January and to get more traffic to my blog and to other blogs. This is post number 23. For more info or to join the challenge check the link below.

  1. Vicki,

    I, too, have learned many lessons from The Ultimate Blog Challenge. Much of what you said applies to me as well!

    I have learned that blogging has helped me to start finding my creative side again!

    I have learned the importance of effective networking her on Facebook.

    I have also learned that a group such as this has a huge impact on everyone involved (us bloggers, the moderator, and our readers).

    I am proud of you for doing your best in this Challenge and for successfully completing 23 posts this month! Keep up the great job!

  2. Thank you Barbara.

    I have had a lot of fun doing this and made some great contacts through it.

    I originally started the challenge for two blogs; definitely a bit much for me.
