Text of the page (random words):
who took part 66 the number of people who ve donated so far as of 11 17am 30 04 13 524 54 the total amount the class has raised so far as of 11 17am 30 04 13 which is after i grabbed this screenshot and i m delighted to say that the donations continue to roll in as and when bloggers are gettinga round to reading and implementing the ideas in the series my page will remain open for donations indefinitely ok if there s a clever way for me to now segue from talking about fund raising to talking about wheelie bins then i can t think of it so here s some bins 3 the number of bins we now have round the back of the garage after taking delivery of the new blue recycling bin we keep our bins behind the garage as they just get in the way on the drive where they block the garage doors and while it s never been ideal we ve always had to do some balletic re shuffling to get the one at the back out at least they were hidden but now with 3 of them there oh dear do you remember those slider games you used to have when you were little you can play them on line now where you had to move little tiles around to get them all back in order to make a picture well i have a feeling that bin days round here are going to start to look like a real world 3d version of that 21 the number of designs in the first of a new range of official month in numbers merchandise here s the new month in musings for more on these hop back to yesterday s post here and finally and just when you thought it was safe to go back into my blog since i promised not to go on about the bumper box of monster munch snacks i got for my birthday someone went and did this james had a parcel to collect from the depot so we went to collect it before work as he emerged form the sorting office i noticed he was holding onto both the parcel he went for and a pizza box and there s only one person in our house who takes delivery of pizza boxes that s me and we all know that good things come in pizza boxes like pizza for a start but also 12x12 scrapbooking papers but as i hadn t ordered any i was a bit confused as to what could be in there so i excitedly tore off the tape and quickly opened the only lid to find 6 packets of titanic snacks the number of savoury treats a wonderful snack facilitating friend sent me as a surprise for the record 0 the number that are left aren t i lucky to have a friend like that who doesn t want anchor and ship wheel shaped salt and vinegar flavour snacks delivered into their hands unannounced who so that s me over to you feel free to read and join in just read and enjoy read enjoy think about joining in next time whatever you fancy this time round here s a quick re cap of the month in numbers good manners for those who are planning to or have already blogged a post and want to leave a link for myself and others to visit and or pin to the pinterest board please bear in mind the shared aspect when you swing by my blog to drop off a link to your month in numbers post please leave a

i reached my 500 fund raising target no hang on we reached my target actually no scratch that what actually happened was we exceeded my 500 fundraising target with a little help from dr who mcfly kenny rogers austin kleon freezer meals groundhog day special guests caroline gabrielle and jennifer plus too many cleavage enhancing garments to mention we did something good you and me something really good so thank you abi alexa alison amanda amy andrea angie anon a anon c anon g anon k anon w barbara beverly carmen carolyn christine deb ellen emy fay fiona gail hazel heather helena helena c

sian suzy teresa and thank you in advance to those who continue to donate now as my page remains open to contributions from anyone who s still catching up with the series and wishes to show appreciation in the future your kindness your support your participation means that save the children can now put our combined 518 towards saving children s lives fighting for their rights and helping them fulfil their potential across 120 countries where they reach 80 million children a year and i don t know about you but that really makes me so happy despite the tears i was fighting back when i realised we d done it and because i ve had a few questions about this and also because my dad gently teased me about me going on holiday with your donations let me just clarify just giving forwards all of your donations on to the charity within a few days i never see any of it it comes nowhere near me no holidays shoes dresses snacks were purchased during the making of this course with your ok then while we re all still basking in the afterglow of our joint good deeds let s move on to my final word on this blogging game well it s my final word for now at least who knows when i might hook myself back into my push up bra in the future appropriately enough we ve gone full circle because we re back where we started maybe it was the dr who effect with the mcfly approach because after all the tips tricks and inspiration you ve picked up along the way it s still all about you only now it s about you me and the thing we are together the blogging community how can we build and encourage a community around our blog when i opened up the floor to your questions the only one i received was on this topic and perhaps it was one key aspect of blogging i d not touched upon already perhaps it s the missing segment of padding in our blogging bras thank you carolyn for raising such an interesting point and perhaps it could be a series in itself but perhaps not by me or not now at least which i think is why i ve found this post so hard to finish there s almost too much to discuss and i m by no means any great expert on this i certainly don t have the world s biggest blog following so let me just tell you a few things i feel i can pass on is there anybody there so you ve taken on board some of the ideas in the series you ve got a line of draft posts scheduled posts and fresh content working its way along your blog s production line you re hitting publish more often than you did back in march when the series began now what where do those posts go do they come to rest gently on open eyes ears arms hearts minds or do they bump down with a resounding echo in an empty room chances are during your blogging career it s going to be a mix of both i m afraid i don t know if it s possible for every single post you create can achieve the same amount of comments traffic and exposure and some days you really will feel like you re whistling into the wind and while it s far easier said than done if you want to continue to maintain and build your blog you re going to have to not let the set backs well set you back i think yet again that this is where working out why you re blogging finding our what benefits blogging can have for you and then only blogging what you enjoy as we looked at in the early chapters comes in important because if having a blog offers you an important outlet before you get anyone else s feedback then you can work on everything else over time rather than giving up when things feel a bit lonely but let s look at a few things you can experiment with to help you find a wider audience for your blog a few ways to increase blog traffic blog comments if you ve never read up on anything like this before do me a favour and read through my next set of tips with an open mind and don t let yourself get overwhelmed ok please i ve been there myself still go there occasionally and i know what can happen you can get to thinking that you need to take it all on board in the next 5 minutes or else you re getting blogging wrong but you re not these aren t hard fast rules just things to consider test out and discard if they re not working for you remember that this whole course has been pick n mix taking baby steps not leaping from a double a cup to a triple g overnight moving along by increments they may initially feel rather cold to you technical businesslike and they may not be what you had in mind when i said we d discuss community but stick with me because we ll get there by the end ok ok i know some people blog purely to share photos and things with immediate friends and family like an online family album so the following hints may well not apply if that s you but if you re hoping that word will spread about your blog beyond immediate acquaintances if you want a bigger and better blog you re going to have to invest in the quality of the content you share people are more likely to leave comments on posts which have really grabbed their attention for one reason or another think about the kinds of posts which arrest your attention what do they contain what made them special remember that while your blog should begin with you it s ultimately read by someone else what s in it for them what do you offer that will keep them returning this can be anything from friendliness and humour to tutorials and inspiration to free downloads to interesting insights and on and on whatever it is you do need to bear in mind that blog readers are just as time pressed forgetful and just a click away from the next web page as you are if you want them to hang around you re going to have to offer them something worthy of their time then once one or two regulars start hanging around you want to make it easy for your readership to keep growing and so make your post pinnable you do not need to be signed up to pinterest for pinterest to work for you other people pin save your post for future reference on their
