This post is in response to Mama Kat’s Weekly Writing Challenge option #4.) What were you writing about last year at this time? What has changed since then?

image The photo I’ve included here is a screenshot of what I was blogging about last year. It’s amazing to me how much I’ve learned about blogging and grown as a blogger just since then. Last year at this time, the only blog posts I was really excited about were my movie reviews. I have them all archived and available through a sidebar link if anyone wants to read them. Now I am putting the same enthusiasm into my daily challenges on the Daily Post.

I’ve learned how fun it is to use built in features of WordPress like “Featured Post.” I’ve also learned to utilize other platforms to drive my images. Blogging has become less of an outpouring and more of a measured, reserved crafting of posts every day. I am comfortable with my hobby of blogging and I am slowly making new contacts. After all, people blog in fits and starts. Some people may read you every day and then go awol. It’s tough keeping up with blogging. It all stays fun though when you see it as a craft or art.
