I know it's so totally not cool it's burning, but I was so excited to reach 100 followers I just had to do a little happy dance. I don't know what the blogosphere etiquette is for being joyful that interest in your blog is growing, but I'm pretty sure that public happy dancing doesn't come into it. But, I'm dancing anyway!
My blogging journey has been an interesting one. Maybe you've been there, maybe you haven't. It goes a little like this:
Maxabella's two sisters start blogging, Maxabella scoffs. Doesn't get it.
Gets hooked on sisters' blogs.
Makes first online comment on sister C's blog.
Starts looking at other blogs. Becomes Queen of the Comments due to opinionated, talkative nature.
Starts own 'journal' (a 'record just for me', you know).
Shares 'journal' web address with sisters.
Sister A shares web address with everyone she knows.
Journal swiftly becomes 'blog'.
Gets first comment from non-family member (thanks Annie!)... It's like that first cigarette.
Adds 'Followers' button. Hides it on bottom of page. Feels like a weirdo trying to start a cult.
Discusses tragedy of only having 7 followers with Sister A and they agree that she is far too needy to be a blogger.
Moves 'Followers' button to top of page.
Joins Flog Yo Blog Friday (thanks Brenda!)
Enjoys the wonderful bloggy world and makes friends all over etherspace.
Reaches 100 followers and does an embarrassingly public happy dance...
My blog has become my sometime creative outlet, unique community and my trusty little friend. I feel like I'm on a long and satisfying journey, but funnily enough, one of the very first posts I wrote is still my favourite.
I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy creating it. Oh, and thanks for following!
