I’ve been on a blogging hiatus for the last two weeks of 2010. It has been nice to take a break, but I have really missed it. Writing is something I have always loved from a very young age when I tried my hand at writing scripts and making my two younger brothers/neighborhood kids perform them. I’m going to recap the happenings/best moments of this blog over the last 12 months and I hope to take it to the next level in 2011.
I took the first 90 days of the year off from blogging in order to accomplish two things: read through the entire Bible in 90 days and lose some weight. You can read the results here. Later in the year, I wrote a little more detail concerning my weight loss. You can read those posts here and here.
After finishing these two goals for 2010, I eased backed into blogging and only posted 60 entries through August when I decided to change my blog from Blogspot to WordPress. Although it was a pain and a bit of a learning experience, I’m glad I made the switch. You can read my thoughts regarding this here. Since making the transition to WordPress in August, this site has welcomed nearly 23,000 visitors and has had close to 34,000 pageviews. Most of the people arrive here looking for insights into Scripture.
This year was also a big milestone on this blog because I finally finished blogging through the New Testament. To celebrate, I gave away a study Bible and you can read about that event here. When blogging through the New Testament was completed, I debated whether I should begin blogging through the Old Testament; after all, it took me nearly 3 1/2 years to finish. I decided to tackle it and I am already halfway through Genesis. Follow my progress here. Slow and steady wins the race.
I’m in the midst of revamping my blog for 2011 so look for a focus on content and maybe even some new features. I’d like to take this chance to thank you for reading. If you didn’t read, I wouldn’t write…at least I don’t think so.
