300,000 points on ActiveRain! I did it. :) Now to my next goal... 400,000!

300,000I finally did it.  With this post, I will have hit the 300,000 points level.  Finally?  Well, I guess when I hit 400,000 I should choose a different word...

Some things I have noticed over the time I have spent blogging.

  • It just gets easier and easier
  • I have made many many many good friends
  • To get comments on your post, you MUST interact with others and comment a lot!
  • 0 to 100,000 took forever
  • 100-200 didn't take as long
  • 200-300 didn't take as long as getting to 200,000
  • When you over think what you want to blog about, you get bloggers-block
  • Clicking that suggest button has me at 160 called shots...
So I really started blogging in March of 2010, so in a year and four moths I have reached some really great milestones.

Thanks to all of you that follow and read my blog.  I appreciate you, and will continue to post, comment and blog about fun stuff!

:)

Good work Chris, I read this earlier and didn't have time to respond.  I figured by the time I did you would have racked up another 10,000 points!

You're right, Chris. The first 100k was the hardest and longest. The second 100K was more exciting because I knew so many more people. Now, it's easy because it's so much fun! Congratulations!!!!
