100 Subscribers!


I started this blog three months ago, never really expecting anyone but close friends and family to care enough to read it.   Today, I hit 100 subscribers!  I know that is considered a small following in blog-land, but I am thankful, honored and pleasantly surprised!
I am NOT a writer, do NOT have "impeccable grammar" (Luke:)), and do not often feel that interesting--but-- you keep reading and subscribing!  What a compliment.


I have loved having a creative outlet, and I love that the blog captures our life's memories, sort of like a journal but much more fun!  I have really loved getting to know other blog authors (they are so inspiring!) and have LOVED, LOVED getting to know you all through your kind comments and encouragement.


I have had many of you ask what it means to "subscribe" to a blog, and what a reader is.  I'm so bad with explaining anything technical with the computer (I've taught myself how to blog by lots of google "how-to" searches, lots of hit and misses, and a few..ok..a bunch..of phone calls to my very talented sisters).  When I saw a post really well written on this subject, over at The Nesting Place, I was relieved that I could just direct you there.  While you are there, look around.  This is one of my most favorite blogs online, her blog is beautiful, and she has so many great decorating tips.      


She answers, step-by-step WITH PICTURES these questions:
*Why subscribe to a blog? -"so you don't have to bookmark every blog or worse, remember the blog address by heart and type it in every time"
*What are different ways to read a blog?
*How does one person have time to read more than a few blogs a day?
*What does it mean to follow a blog?


Click here and go check it out.  If you read more than a few blogs or visit more than a few news websites a day, or if you want to explore the blog world, you will NOT regret learning how to subscribe to a blog.  Just by visiting The Nester, you will find 4 other blogs in her post that are VERY worth subscribing to!  If her post is just too much information for ya, then click on the video below...it is super simple and well made.  It will let you know whether or not you are a person who would get into the whole "subscribing thing."


Again, THANK YOU for reading!  
You make blogging SO MUCH FUN!!
