Have You Met Maggie?

Welcome back to the Have You Met series, where I talk about the amazing online friends I’ve made in this blogging community. Last week I talked about Arundhati who blogs at The Travelling Diary of a Dippy Dotty Girl, and Cheila who blogs at Pink For Days.

Let’s get into it.

Haaaaaaaaave you met Maggie?

Maggie is a ray of sunshine! Also, for those who don’t know, Maggie is her nickname, her real name is Valerie, named after her mum! Another blogger who you can find here! Maggie is so lovely. She is 17 (her birthday was just a few months back!), and is in her last year of being homeschooled. She lives in the Southern Part of USA. She lives at home with her parents, and is the eldest of four children. She is a very proud big sister 😀

May by the Numbers

So hi! Last month, I posted about my blog stats at the beginning of April. It’s still one of my most top liked posts. I originally wanted to do this last week, but I was worried that it would come off as showing off, and also I had recently done a similar post for hitting 500 followers, so I held off. But you know, I am really proud of my not so little blog now. It’s three months old, and I’ve put a lot of hard work into it, and your support and seeing these numbers grow has been incredible and bewildering.

So, allow me this indulgence of talking about how crazy amazing May was through numbers.

I thought April was crazy, but May reached the next level.

In April, I had 4984 views, 1449 visitors, 2244 likes, and 957 comments.

In May, it reached 8935 views, 2486 visitors, 4536 likes and 2186 comments. It essentially doubled. Now while I assume a lot of this growth is from my blog naturally growing and getting a wider audience, it may also be that I was posting two to three times a day thanks to the 30 Day Blogging Challenge (Shout out to Maggie and Cheila!). I normally only do one or two a day, which I’ve now returned to this month. Do you guys want to know how many posts I published in May? 77. 77 posts in one month. Maybe I really do have a problem.

I can’t call this blog little anymore, but I don’t feel ready to call it big either. You guys may disagree, but it freaks me out still. So I will stop calling it my little blog, and settle for not-so-little. Sound like a good compromise? No…well I’m gonna stick with it anyway 😛
