Looking back at 2010

2010 was a busy year.  I was really into being a birth blogger.   I tried to improve my blog and part of that included switching from  Wordpress.com to self hosting in August.  There have been some benefits, but I feel like there were some negatives too.  I still have 2000 hits a month at the old blog and around 4000 here.   But I wish they were all at the same place.

I posted 440 times.  I started tracking how much time I spent working on my blog using Rescue Time and I spent on average 4 hours a week writing and working on my blog.   I had over 80,000 hits on my blog.

I don’t know how much this blog matters, or if it is worth all my time.

It was nice having a break over Christmas.  I read 4 books in the past 2 weeks.  I miss reading.  Maybe I need to spend more time reading and less time blogging?

Balance is what I am going to try to focus on this year.  I will be back to talk about goals – did I meet the ones from last year and what are my new ones?

For now enjoy my

  2. I really love this blog! I know blogging is a lot of work at times. I don’t subscribe to many birth-related blogs, but I think yours is great because you include such a variety of helpful information!
