With that in mind, I decided to write myself a little list of blogging resolutions for this year. Who knows, I may actually get into some kind of routine and keep it up for next year, and the year after, and the year after… This is where I was going to write, “Well, if I am still blogging then”, but I forgot to mention that I have just celebrated my 5 year blogversary! I do actually feel a little proud of that, never when I started did I think I would be able to keep it up, but alas, here I am.

So here are my blogging resolutions for 2016 (I’ll be back this time next year to let you know if I kept them!):

Spend more time promoting and interacting on my Facebook blog page

To work on my Twitter promotion and interaction was on my to-do for last year, and it took some time but I am now in a consistent routine with it, so Facebook is the next port of call. 

Revisit StumbleUpon

I recently logged in and I found the last time I stumbled something, was June 2013! I know it is very useful for bloggers so hopefully somebody may find something on here they think is worth stumbling… I will be taking more time to stumble other pages too.

Not worry about numbers in the charts!

Blogging charts are something most of us are a part of, or have been at one time. I used to get so upset if my rank dropped, but now I don’t take much notice; I can’t bring myself to leave though 😉

Blog reading and commenting

I started out with good intentions at this last year too and it lasted for a while, but then it kind of dwindled when I took my breaks and I haven’t done much since. I aim to read and comment on more of my favourite blogs this year, and discover some new ones!

Less pressure to post or write every day

Previously I have put a lot of pressure on myself to write every day, or at least every other day so I keep getting readers to my blog, but then I seem to lose my mojo. I think it will be much easier on myself if I just write when I actually have something to write about, rather than forcing myself to find something to write about. As long as I stick to the regular promoting, I think those readers will keep on coming just fine.

Do you have any new year blogging resolutions?
