Thankful Thursday: Ending of Blogathon

Today is the day...the blogathon ends...I'm thankful for the experience of competing in yet another blogathon. I skipped a beat- not posting on May 18th, but that is fine...although I can't say I officially completed the blogathon--- I'm glad that I didn't stop there and give up. My last few days of the blogathon were my best!

I'm thankful to my two guest post bloggers- Jenny and Kusum. They made my blogathon just a bit easier. 


Although this is not my first blogathon, I think I learned the most during it. I am thankful for all I am coming away with. Here are just a few things-


1. The need to be focused and prepared with posting blog updates


2. The desire to want to post nice pictures with each post-- better still to TAKE those said pictures!


3. The need to be consistent


4. Make good use of keywords and use links generously

A hearty congratulations to all those who faithfully blogged for the 31 days without missing a beat!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!! Keep on spinning out those blog posts for all to read.

And so it ends....

The blogathon ends today...but the blog doesn't. In fact, this is just the continuation of a great journey...learning about new people, places and phases in my life.

I want to thank Michelle Rafter for birthing this great blogathon...and for allowing us all to participate in her brain child! Three cheers for her!  Once again, I've met some great people during the blogathon. I also had the opportunity to learn new things about blogging...and I'm exiting the blogathon with a new 'theme' day- 'Feature Friday'- a day I'll feature biographies, autobiographies, or memoirs! 


Yes the road ahead looks good...so although the blogathon 2011 ends...the blogging road still stretches out in front of me and I'm excited to see what it holds.
