The Best of Bowl of Stew(art) 2011
2011 was Bowl of Stew(art)’s best year –EVER! It really was. I know, I know, it sounds like a cliché. Every year-end review says is was a great year -but it was truly a great blogging year for me. I posted more than any previous year, was happy with the overall content, and celebrated my blogs 1000th Post WOOT! Through out the year the comments and reader support has been wonderful and encouraging.Even the stats have been great. Overall year visits to the site were 40% higher than 2010. I thought that was a fantastic accomplishment that April surpassed last year’s record for the highest hits in a month with 549 unique visits to the blog. That was until July which 704 hits! How could I possibly expect more than that? Everyone who visits the site made that happen and it made me smile. So....there are no words for the shock I had in November when the site got 804 hits. Thank you everyone who keeps visiting Bowl of Stew(art)! You make me smile and do a little happy dance.
Looking back on the year, these are my choices for the best Bowl of Stew(art) post of 2011:
I am not sure what 2012 will hold. I plan to keep the weekly Simple Woman Daybooks, Thankful Thursdays and maybe the Friday 5s. It is easy to get too ambitious but I hoping bring back Rate the Fun board game reviews, share more of my fiction and maybe add some new monthly features.
