Yes, I know it is January 3rd already. We were out of town for the 1st and 2nd enjoying football, food, fun and family at my parent’s house. I thought we’d kick off the new bloggy year with some goals.
2012 Blog Goals
- Finish the re-design-I need to get my header fixed and I accidentally deleted some important badges from my sidebar that I need to reconstruct
- Engage my readers-There are a lot of you out there, and for that I am very thankful. Unfortunately, very few of you respond or leave comments-unless I’m running a giveaway. Leaving meaningful comments on blog posts is how readers tip the author. When you interact with posts I write and topics I cover, I know you are interested too. I’d love to know what subjects in the realms of parenting, homeschooling, family entertainment and family travel you would like to know more about so please, leave a comment on this post letting me know.
- Crack the 1000 subscriber mark. I know it isn’t all about numbers, but I have been hovering in the mid-900s for a very long time.
- To complete the 2012 Blog Dare (I’m already behind-this is actually the post for January 1st!)
- To attend Blissdom, Reviewer’s Retreat, Type-A Parent Conference and BlogHer12. If you or your company would like to sponsor me you can check out my Sponsor Opps page.
Social Media Goals for 2012
Twitter: To be more active. My Twitter usage declined the second half of 2011.
Facebook: To get more conversations going on my Facebook page.
Google+: To learn the best way to use this tool and to set up a page for my blog.
LinkedIn: To learn how to use this more effectively.
Pinterest: To finally get my invitation so I can check this new hot spot out.
I am excited for another great year here in my corner of the blogosphere and I can’t wait to share it with you!
happy new year!!! love your goals for the blog and social media…i was just thinking today (as I looked at my oh-so-sad-and-unused Google+ page) that I really REALLY need to use that tool more! 🙂

It’s never too late to create goals. Also, I love that the site loads much more quickly now. Oh, and happy new year!

Those are some great goals, Cindy! I”m on Pinterest, too! It so helps to write down your goals. In 1 year you’ll be able to look back and see all that you accomplished! Good luck.

Great goals. I need to brush up on my social media goals as well. Is it bad that I have never heard of pinterest?

Pinterest.com has been around since the summer, I think. I just got an invitation this week. It is a virtual pin up board where you can collect and share images, sayings, recipes etc.
