Feature and Follow - What Have You Learned About Blogging?

I learned, empirically, as opposed to just hypothetically, that you get more comments the higher up you are in the list for a blog hop.It doesn't seem to reduce traffic, just traffic from people who leave comments. Curious. Has anyone else seen this?

Throwback Thursday - Ruth Chew - and a blog Milestone

First, the milestone. This week BlogTheEclectic passed 2,000 page views. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

I know in the grand scheme that is not very many (I know many of you get than many in a day or week) but it made me excited to hit the milestone, especially since it is on a steep upward incline (over 550 page views in the last month, up from less than 100 only in December). So thank you again to everyone who came to look. Please share.

Now for the Throwback. As summer approaches (I'm in New York, schools are open for another month) I remember voraciously reading Ruth Chew's books. They had adventure, magic, history, interesting plots and interesting characters. I never was disappointed.

My favorites were Baked Beans for Breakfast, Summer Magic, and The Hidden Cave. I remember sometimes reading the entire book in a single sitting.

Feature and Follow - Blogging Regrets as a Newbie?

I am afraid I have not been nearly so adventurous to have any serious regrets. My biggest regret is not having enough time to participate more than a couple times a week and taking so long to join the blogosphere.

Even though my blog's been up over 2 years I still consider myself a newbie, since it was only this year I joined a blog hop and did a guest post or had more than 50 visitors for a single post.

I look forward to learning a lot more (and I am sure I'll have oops! stories to share along the way).

Leave me a comment, even if you don't find a mistake! Thanks.
