I got 7,215 views this year. That’s okay in the successful blog department. Considering that I had 332 in 2012, I’m not complaining. Of course, I had 624 in my first year. Total followers for the blog is at 1,035

Let’s Try This Again…DALANEL’s New Look

This theme is called Newsworthy and this was second place when I decided to go with a new theme early last month. My new blog has this theme as well. And, after hearing and seeing more negative than positive reactions to Writr, I decided to go with this new look.

There will be a poll at the end of this post asking you how you like this new look compared to the other. This link will take you to WordPress’ demo site of my previous theme so you can compare.

Okay, so let me just walk you through the new look if you’re not familiar with it.

Sunday: My Day of Rest

I just want to make a quick note. I am no longer going to be posting on Sundays. At least, not consistently. Sunday could be the day I do update posts for the blog. I made this choice for a number of reasons; reasons I can’t tell you…yet. Just know that, in the very near future, I will start to have more responsibilities. And so, I’m setting myself up to not overload.

Also, for similar reasons, Dante’s Opinion is back down to one post per week instead of the two days. Tuesday is the day to look for them. Wednesday Word remains on Wednesday. There is one more announcement, but, I have to wait until the end of the week.

Yeah, there’s a surprise waiting for you at the end of the week. If you follow me on Google+ and/or Twitter, you kinda know what it is. Just so you know, a lot of times, my updates vary from platform to platform. You only get some of the story if you follow just one area vs following me everywhere. Still, some things I have not said at all. In time, this post will make sense to you, my friends.

Trust me.

DALANEL Stats November 2013: A Terrible Blog Improves to Bad

The historic month is over. November out did all of this year. It accounted for one third of the blog’s views for all time. So yeah, this blog had a nice explosion during this month. However, that explosion happened in the second week of the month. After that, viewing has been a joke. So much that I anticipate a huge setback on monthly views. Still, let’s talk about how November went.

For most viewed posts, here’s what you’ve been looking at. By the way, I normally look at the top five, but, for this great month, we’ll look at top ten:

Wait A Minute…Can DALANEL Get to 1,000 Followers!?

Hold on.

*grabs a calculator and adds values*

I…I-I don’t think I’m getting this correctly. Help me out. I’m trying to add my social media following as well as WordPress following.

  • Facebook: 373
  • Twitter: 212
  • WordPress: 126
  • Tumblr: 114
  • LinkedIn: 98
  • Google+: 26
  • Comment: 1

Can you tell me what that adds to? I keep getting 950, but, that can’t be right. I just got to 800. Is my following on the verge of 1,000? As I keep saying, these are the numbers WordPress uses as “publicize”. Fellow WP users know what I mean; especially if you look up the term publicize.

*checks numbers again* It’s possible! Holy…

What do I do? Do I go for it?

DARN RIGHT.
