Target Appreciation Post!

This weekend on a boring Saturday afternoon, I just so happened to stroll into Target, because I realized I haven't walked around my favorite store in a while. I walk in and see Christmas EVERYWHERE! In the dollar section, in the women's clothes section, in the men's clothes section, in its own Christmas section!!! I spent a good almost 2 hours just walking around in everything Christmas. I held back in buying a lot, but I did have to splurge and buy myself some Christmas goodies!

I bought Ghirardelli peppermint hot chocolate, men's skull socks from the dollar section, a kitty Christmas sweatshirt from the men's section, and the "Merry" banner. I also bought a banner that says "fa la la la la" but I forgot to put it in the picture (oops).

Are you buying Christmas stuff yet??

How to get more traffic on your blog

As a new blogger my biggest question is, "how do I get people to read my blog?"..."is anyone going to like my blog?"..."oh wow how did I get 20 views!?...oh...that was all just me"...

Well my friends, I did a little internet search on how to get more traffic to your blog, and I found some good advice. Here are some of my favorites...

1. Be timeless...write things that could be read a year from now.
2. Write short posts, nobody likes to read novels from people they don't know
3. Be snarky (i love that word)
4. Coin a term or two
5. Write about blogging (I guess that's what I'm doing now?)
6. Don't be boring
7. Dress your blog as well as you would dress for a meeting
8. Don't blog about you cat, boyfriend, and kids (oops...already broke that rule...)
9. Post things people want to read

And most importantly...

Don't blog to be famous. Don't blog to get views. Blog for yourself, and people will read it.

Happy Blogging!
