A Reflection on 2009 Blogging Goals

Post image for A Reflection on 2009 Blogging Goals

With the farewell post from Back in Skinny Jeans earlier this year, I am also slowly trying to stop writing about weight loss. At some point, weight should be a none issue in a woman’s life. I am proud of the fact that I write about the many facets of health that we deal with from making food choices to to our health insurance.

Feeling Censured

Being censured is not what blogging is about. I love the freedom of being able to write without thinking about how people will react to my posts before I made the stupid mistake of raving about this new wonderful hobby of mine.

Leaving for Honeymoon

Being deadly afraid of catching the flu (swine?) from my office before my vacation, I have been drinking Emergen-C at the slightly hint that I might come down with something. Hearing all these stories of co-workers with young children sick from the flu, makes me take drastic measures such as washing my hands, using a paper towel to open door handles, and using hand sanitizer.

Welcome to Small Steps to Health where we do not take orders from a cookie!

I forgot to mention that I was one of the featured bloggers on BlogHer’s Juice a couple of weeks ago. That is what happens when you are planning a wedding, keeping up with the blogging community, remodeling a foreclosed home, and working a new job.

This episode of the Juice talks about tips on how to stay in shape when you are traveling.

Welcome to Small Steps to Health where we do not take orders from a cookie!
With only three months left and so many details unplanned, I am starting to feel overwhelm about the wedding.  At first every one wants to help, but only if I agree with their suggestions.  Now I am tying tiny little bows [...]

Comment spam

Welcome to Small Steps to Health where we do not take orders from a cookie!

I finally figured out why certain posts keep getting comment spam vs. other posts on my blog. Whenever a reader insert one of my posts url on a forum, I notice that I would get massive amounts of comment spams for that post.

Five posts on my blog generate 90% of my comment spam.

Mini post: Publishing Full RSS Feed

I am a huge Jane Austen fanWelcome to Small Steps to Health where we do not take orders from a cookie!

With some trepidation, I decided that I am going to publish my posts with full RSS feed and monitor its misuse per Jonathan Bailey’s advice. Am I afraid? Oh yes. How can you not be afraid when you embank on a different path than the course you originally set for yourself? But more than anything else, I am afraid this might mean that I will see more pieces of my life on another blog.

Another Mexico Picture

I know for a fact that I do not have as many subscribers as I should on my blog. Usually after a surge in traffic from a Stumble or a link on the blogroll of a popular website , I get a good amount of people subscribing. But after a week, I usually end up losing a good 80% of these new subscribers. I know the reason I lose subscribers is because I do not publish my full RSS feed.

Then why don’t you publish your full Rss feed?

Small Steps to Health is on the blogroll of health.msn.com. Wow! When I saw traffic coming in from the site, I thought it might have been a mistake. I am not sure when this happen or how. But I am going to get that screen shot so that I can “document” this in case it turns out to be a mistake! :D
