I deleted both the introduction and the likes.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know whether\u00a0would stick with blogging when I first started. I don&#8217;t ever really stick with things like this, but since I have started I have met some awesome\u00a0bloggers, and found a whole new source of motivation and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>I was so surprised when I saw that people were reading my blog. Even more so when I pushed up over 100 page views a day. Plus,\u00a0the comments! I used to, <strong>and still do<\/strong>, get so excited when people commented on my blog.<\/p>\n<p>I can honestly say that in the past year, my life has been enriched through this blogging community. Every time I need a boost of support, I write a post or tweet my frustrations and you all help me out. The blogging world &#8211; or, at least the personal finance blogging world &#8211; is so supportive and I love that there is a little community of awesome people doing the same thing as me.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, I&#8217;d love to be cheesy and thank everyone for standing by me as I make mistakes (ie started on Blogger), reminding me repeatedly and patiently, without cyber slapping me, that there IS no September 31, reading my spelling mistakes and grammar errors patiently and forgivingly as I get used to proof reading, and generally being there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is my blogoversary.
