I made it! It’s been an entire year that I shared my blog with the world. Can you believe it? I felt like giving up many times. Particularly when I hit a road block with the technical stuff and kept wondering if anybody is even reading. I persevered anyway, reminding myself of why I was doing it. Bottom line, if I can help one person that’s enough.
During this process it was challenging. Nearly 50 posts later, I’ve learned so much during this process. And I’m still learning. In fact, I just learned how to add my logo on my pictures. Recently I’ve been revisiting old posts and sprucing them up. I want the posts to be easily read, attractive, and searchable on the internet.
