MY BLOG IS THREE YEARS OLD
MY BLOG IS THREE YEARS OLD
What a perfect way to start the January Ultimate Blog Challenge with the birthday of my blog. I had always thought about starting a blog but I never realized it would grow to where it is now. My Blog is three years old and I am pleased with all that I’ve learned, some for others and some from trial and error on my own. Back on Christmas Day 2014, my grandson helped me start a blog mainly for product reviews that I was doing. Shortly after my blog was born, I added a few other categories and I was on my way. Read how my blog was born: http://themarthareview.com/about-my-blog-how-i-got-started/
From this to this:
This graph is the total of all three years combined with the views and comments.
The end of the first year I was so excited to see my total views 2,826 with 354 blogs. Most of these were strictly product reviews and in 2016 I added a variety of new categories and my total views jumped to 34,633 views with 360 blogs written. The end of 2017 I only wrote 235 blogs but my views jumped to 37,864! More categories were added but the most exciting one was Alex Articles. Alexandra is my now 21-year-old granddaughter and she has some very interesting blogs and she’s hoping to add more this year.
As I start into the fourth year of blogging I’m looking forward to learning even more, growing more, and helping others through the blogs I write. But I’m also excited to join in the Ultimate Blog Challenge for my third straight year.
www.UltimateBlogChallenge.comThe hosts Paul Taubman and Danni Ackerman have an awesome month planned plus you won’t want to miss out on their FREE online training sessions.
So this will be an exciting year, the beginning of my 4th year of blogging and the beginning of my 3rd year of the Ultimate Log Challenge.

Great to see you in the challenge again Jeanine! I’m so glad I got started with my blog although it seems like I’ve been writing forever, not just 3 years! Thanks for stopping by.
Happy blog-aversary! Glad I found you and looking forward to your posts. Also, I have to do a blog migration at some point so I’ll definitely learn from your experience. – Visiting from UBC.
Thanks Elisa, I’ve enjoyed blogging so much and also learning from other blogs or on my own. Hope my migration blog can help you! Looking forward to the UBC once again! Thanks for stopping by and visiting.

Martha, looking forward to your fourth year of blogging journey… I am sure I will enjoy visiting..
I have had an exciting three years of both writing my blog and making changes and updates. It’s fun to see that at my age of almost 70 years old, I can still learn things! Thanks for visiting LadyInRead, I enjoy your blog also!
Happy Birthday! LOL. I enjoy reading your blogs, I always have. Look forward to another year.
Thanks Andria, it’s been an interesting three years and looking forward to trying my hand (or should I say voice) at some videos! Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on your anniversary and success. You’ve really grown and branched.

Thanks hafong! I am pleased with the growth and the things that I have learned through other bloggers plus by my trial and error. My next thing I want to branch out to is doing some videos. I’m not the greatest speaker when I’m videoing but I’m going to give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!
Congratulations on all of the progress you’ve made with your blog. Sadly, many bloggers quit after their first year.
Thanks Rachel, I’m the determined type and when I start something I like to complete it. With blogging, it will never be completed, hopefully only growing bigger and better. At almost 70 years old, I love to keep my brain active and it’s exciting to see I can still learn and retain things! Thanks for stopping by.
