A Hug Goodbye to the Ultimate Blog Challenge

I am always so happy to participate in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. It's wonderful to connect with other bloggers, to see my old challenge friends again, and to have discussions with them on my blog and theirs.

I wasn't able to do weekends this time (so no completion ribbon this time), but it helped a lot to have that two-day break. And I still enjoyed the month of blogging.

Possibly the best part of all, more people came to visit me here at my blog. :)

I think at last count, I got about 4400 pageviews and a thousand new visitors a week. It started to taper off as we got toward the end of the challenge, but I am still grateful.

If you're reading this, and you're a UBC blogger, how was your experience this month?

If you're not, join us for the next challenge in April. You can register at ultimateblogchallenge.com.

One thing this month of blogging did for me, personally, is help me get clearer about what I want to blog about and how often I would like to do it. But it also reminded me of how much I need to write in advance. So I have some posts ready for next month, starting tomorrow.

Hope to see you here! :)

Love to you!!

Jeanine

I have never blogged on weekends. That is a holdover from the fact that I work 12 to 14 hours a day Monday through Thursday and 1/2 day on Friday- leaving weekends for the kids (and when I was married, for my wife).

Oh, I don't think I realized that, Roy! I may not go back to it either. It was so much easier this time without them.

HI there. Congratulations on getting as many done as you did. Great that you got some traffic. I have to admit that I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted this month on my own blog, but I did comment on a lot, so I hope that helps, lol. Anyway, good luck to you and thanks for sharing your experience. I am planning on doing this is April again and hope to also have a bunch ready before then. Good luck.

Congratulations (despite no weekends; some really good bloggers don't do weekends and people do need days off!). I probably will not do UBC in April because I plan to do Blogging from A to Z - but you never know.

Thank you, Alana! Good point. Not every blogger does weekends. And I still feel good for getting to the end. Well, then, I'll maybe see you the time after that. Good seeing you this time.

Thank you, Martha! You know, I need a cup of tea right about now, so thanks. I will keep blogging and will visit your blog. And I'm going to keep working on the $1 meals. I feel the possibility of it, so I'm not going to give up.

Jeanine, glad to see you finished up the January challenge! Look forward to seeing you again in April. I didn't follow my traffic stats, but by April, I'll be ready to do so. I had literally put my new website together at the end of December and was just happy I could even have the time to blog. It was a fun experience and I will continue to blog twice weekly. This is not goodbye, but will see you again very soon! :)

I did much the same thing, starting this blog not long before the challenge. Yes, see you soon!
