I’ve managed to do a post a day for a month now, despite losing power for over a day in the middle of June. I plan to continue for the foreseeable future.

While I don’t plan to do it every month, for this first month’s completion I’ve included links to all of the posts and listed all of those I received comments from up to the  point of publishing this post.  Thanks, everyone!

The person who made the most comments is Melanie with 15.  Melanie is our daughter and has her own blog, From Scratch.

Again, this effort of trying to post every day is to make this a habit, something that I do without procrastinating.  After all, I like blogging, so why not?

Hey, I can comment! I’m not sure if it’s my other computer or what, but the last couple times I tried to comment here, it rejected me. Boo hoo, I cried for days. :)

And hey, posting every day, why not!? There are about 10 blogs I read where they post every day and it feels so great to check in on their news.

Do you check your stats and if so, have you noticed and traffic pattern changes by posting every day?

See you soon.

Jannie,

I don’t know why it would have rejected you from this end. I haven’t changed anything.

Yes, I do check Feedburner stats and it seems to show a slow increase in the number of subscribers, though it varies up and down.

Take care!

Natural,

One of the things that I am doing is pre-publishing some material in draft form so that, if I come up short, I have something ready or almost ready to go.

For instance, I already have about 18 photos already selected for use here and a similar number for my other active blog.

Congratulations Mike on your blogging milestone.

Posting everyday is a real challenge. At one time I was posting six days a week but then time and more blogging projects got in the way. *sigh*

Mike, I read all your posts. Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on all of them for the reason that I am either not knowledgeable about the subject or that I simply cannot think of anything to say.

I shall visit Melanie’s blog and see.

Congratulations and all the best with the resolution.

This is something I thought about doing, but I really need to create a better “map” so that I can have something to post. :) I may do this after I complete some other tasks like improve the SEO on my eCommerce site etc. If I was JUST blogging, it would be a different story. :)

Wow! I didn’t know I had commented that many times! LOL. I’ve been sitting at the computer rather a lot lately! Don’t worry though, I’ve been outside with patty and the garden getting fresh air, too! :)

Barbara – Yes, it is challenging and I don’t know how long I will keep it up.

Ramana – Thanks. I read all of your posts as well, and only comment where I can think of something worthwhile to say.

Carla – I actually started doing this after I had had some issues with getting out a blog post on a regular basis. I’m also working on content for the site that actually pays enough to fund all of the stuff I do online.

Mel – I’m glad to see you stopping by and commenting. Hope y’all have a fun day tomorrow and that you didn’t have to work all night again tonight.

Hi Mike. The thought of coming up with enough content to post every day gives me chills. A great milestone for sure. Congrats! Thanks for the link too.

Davina – I guess part of the reason I’m doing this is to help develop some dependable creativity. Of course, many of these posts are my photos or vintage photos that I’ve discovered online.

Melanie’s blog is not for me Mike! I have enough problems with my food as it is without taking on all those tempting recipes there!

Ramana – I understand. Believe it or not, though, she and her husband are at very healthy weights, even with all the cooking she’s doing.
