My Brand New Blog + My Blog Resolutions

If you read my last post, you probably realized that I totally changed my blog template. I am so happy with this change and hope that you too will like my new logo and blog template! I hinted in an earlier post that I would change it for New Years and I finally took the leap and created myself a new blog template. I also wanted to go ahead and lay out my new plan for this blog.

 If you checked out the top header, you'd see that I added a new page--"My thoughts". This will now include all of my opinion pieces and links to all of my odyssey articles. I wanted to separate lifestyle posts from true "op-ed" pieces and thought that adding this tab would be the best way to do so.

I also plan on being much more "aggressive" and intentional with my blogging techniques. I really want to double the number of subscribers and views on this blog and hope that being more intentional on social media and on this blog will help me reach my goal.

If you have any blog post ideas I would love to hear them! I plan on responding to all comments and can't wait to have a conversation with my viewers!

This Years'  B L O G  R E S O L U T I O N S 

*drumroll* Now for this years' blog resolutions aka my goals for blog. Going with my want for structure, I've decided to also set out a few goals to show what I'd like to achieve this year.

1. Grow my to 10,000 page views. 

My real want is for these views to translate into more subscribers and a continued renewal of unique monthly viewers.

2. Weekly posts. 

I've tried to do this every year, but have always failed some reason it another, but I've decided that not only to make my blog a priority -- but for it to grow it has be a top priority. So I do plan on having a weekly posting schedule.

3. Respond to A L L comments

I really love establish relationships with my viewers and hear what content you'd me post, but first I need step out of comfort zone and make an effort to respond all comments. (Please understand though that having school, extracurricular, and a YouTube along with a blog that sometimes it will not  poble for me to respond in a timely manner.)

If you're a blogger what are some of your goals for your blog? If you're not than what are some of your new year resolutions?
