Woo-hoo! Today is the day! This is my 100th post!!! 
Ramblings-n-Writings started in September 2007 with no real purpose in mind. I had some ideas like just sharing our life in the country on a farm, but after a few weeks it became obvious that only friends and family were interested in our life. And sometimes I struggled with what to write so my posting was quite sporadic. I experimented with a few other topics, such as editing, writing, organic living, frugality etc. All of those seemed to have a broader interest base. In February, I settled into my niche and began focusing mainly on writing, editing, reading, and books, with a few posts on frugality, gardening, farming and organic living thrown in for the fun of it. I also try to post on an almost daily basis (excluding when the dog ate the power cord or when our regular schedule gets tossed out the window).
In the beginning, I had very few readers. In November I installed Sitemeter and discovered I had maybe 10 readers a week – yipes! I did a little blog reading and implemented some suggestions on how to drive traffic – I use Mr. Linky on other blogs (that’s why there’s an occasional off-topic post about a subject I want to write about), I comment on other blogs, and I participated in the Ultimate Blog Party. Now my traffic numbers average around 250 readers a week!!! *pat self on back*
So, if you are new here, welcome! If you are an old friend, especially those from the beginning (Dianne and Becky), thanks for sticking with it!
