The Black Fives Blog: 6 Month Anniversary!


I started this blog 6 months and 155 blog posts ago! Thank you for your encouragement and support!

To celebrate, I want to share some stats and insights. You can compare these to my 1 month status report.

The Black Fives Blog.

Before you review this information, please note that I haven’t been at all consistent in using the many tools and methods and techniques that most full time bloggers usually unleash. I don’t even understand many of the tools and ways of thinking. Yet. And I certainly don’t compare to giant blogs. Yet. :-)

So in my mind’s eye, I imagine that it’ll keep getting better. On the other hand, I’m not trying to make any excuses! I’m grateful and happy with how it’s gone so far!
