I Completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge

I Completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge!

I was excited participating in this challenge and once again I  completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge for the second quarter of 2016, the month of April.  I found out about this challenge from another blogger in January. The challenge is to write and share a new blog post every day for the months of January, April, July and October.   I completed the January challenge and now the April challenge. I like to check my stats to see how I did and I was happy with the results.    The first fifteen days of the challenge I wrote about how my stats were coming along:  http://themarthareview.com/checking-my-stats/  so now I’m checking them for the last fifteen days.   From April 16th until the end of the month, I had 1172 views, up 42 views from the first fifteen days.   For the April challenge I had over 350 comments and almost 2300 new views.

But other than increasing my blog views, the one thing I especially like about the Ultimate Blog Challenge is meeting such wonderful bloggers and reading their blogs.  Some of the bloggers I meet through the January challenge I have kept up with and they also joined in the April one.  So between my blog friends from January and the new ones from the April challenge, I have read many, many wonderful blogs.

I have enjoyed this challenge, putting my brain to the test of coming up with different topics and want to thank the hosts Paul B. Taubman, II INeedHelpWithWordPress.com    and Danni Ackerman  TheDanniApp.com  for helping me increase my exposure, get more traffic and met wonderful new bloggers.

If you haven’t joined in the Ultimate Blog Challenge, the next one will be in July!  Check it out and have fun with the challenge.

Another Month Gone, Another UBC Completed
Martha DeMeo

I started my blog on Christmas Day 2014 mainly to review products I received. Since then it has evolved into many other categories of lifestyles, family, money saving ideas, low cost, delicious and healthy meals plus other surprise posts. My granddaughter has her own category, Alex's Articles and the latest addition to my blog is my great granddaughter now has her category, Lia's Likings The Baby Blogger! Lia started blogger at 8 months old and she now has a Friday Story Time blog you won't want to miss! I welcome you to join the conversation, ask a question, give a suggestion or leave a comment on any blog post. I hope you enjoy Lia's Likings, she has some great posts that will make you smile!

      Thanks Sandy. Like I tell my grandchildren, it’s not always about finishing, it’s trying and giving it your best. Thanks for visiting!

      Thank you Barry. I love challenges of any kind and while sometimes people can’t complete them, I don’t consider it a failure. I’ve enjoyed your blogs as well and look forward to reading yours also.

    I will definitely be joining you again in July, Martha, because I got over 2000+ views myself last month. It was great to hang out with you during the challenge. Congrats on completing it!

        Thanks Barry, I did notice there seemed to be less bloggers for the April challenge than January. I’ll have to start talking about it in June to remind people to get their thinking caps on for July. Thanks for stopping by.
