The day after I decide to commit to a blog entry a day for 2011 as part of the postaday2011 challenge at WordPress, they sent me this email rich with data that encourages me even more! What can I say? Yay me! And YAY YOU if you read my blog. I think it goes well with morning caffeine, a quick break from work, or for someone searching for something real and true in the virtual landscape.
Here ya go, and once again, mahalo for your visits! By the way, feedback craved and most welcome!

Lavagal 
I like your idea of blogging at least once a day.
I started my blog with that in mind… and from the very first day over 30 months ago I’ve never missed a day posting.
There are things you can do to help you on days when it’s hard to find something to blog about…
Here are somethings I do:
1. Blog about what someone else has written… just the other side or my view of things.
2. I find an interesting youtube clip and just post that.
3. If I go on vacation… I write “Shorts” posts in advance and then have them set to be posted while I’m gone.
4. I used to try and post via email from my phone… but failed miserably at that… (my phone and not wordpresses fault)
Any rate I believe that the reason I get the traffic I do… is because folks know my blog changes at least once a day no matter what.
Happy New Year Paula and here is 2011!
