Chaddy reminded me yesterday that Wednesday was our 3rd year blogiversary. It doesn't seem like I have been marking up this little corner of the interwebs for 3 whole years, but it's true!
I started writing this blog because I thought it might bring more brides to my website, and it does, as sometimes brides will mention it during a phone call or consultation. But I soon found that I was finding it personally rewarding as well. It was just nice to write down my feelings and troubles, and not to get all ten-dollar-wordy on you, but it was truly cathartic. And soon after, other decorators showed up and agreed and sympathized with my problems. And lots of you told me what a great job I was doing as I honed my cake skills. Cleansing, validation, and respect (with a smidge of marketing) all in one place - why would I ever leave??
I do admit there's times when the blog becomes more of a chore, but I'm an opinionated girl, so I always eventually find something to talk about. But I also want to hear from you! As my little blog begins it's fourth year of existence is there anything you want to see more (or less) of? Would you be heartbroken if I switched to blogging once a week instead of twice?
Let me know in the Comments!
I love reading your blog and seeing the wonderful cakes you make. It is a pleasure to come here every week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I am looking forward for more years to come reading your blog.
I really enjoy your blog as well! I don't think your readers would mind a few less posts, I can imagine it does become a chore at times. I've been meaning to ask you if you'd share how you stack your buttercream cakes without messing them up (and what support system you use). That is the most challenging part for me.
ReplyDeleteI know you've said in the past, that you eventually got to the point where you valued your time more and I imagine at that point, raised your prices. Was that a hard thing for you to do? I would appreciate what you have to say on that subject because I'm so there right now and about to raise my party cake prices significantly.
happy 3rd birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww..I wish we had known Jen...would've baked ya a cake to celebrate ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd buy you some potato chips since you're probably tired of cake like the rest of us! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd Blogversary! I love coming by to visit every week!
