The 2010 Results are In: My First Year of Blogging was Successful!
One nice thing about a WordPress blog is that they give you a report at the end of the year on how your blog did against the competition, on WordPress. I would like to thank all of my readers for following my bittersweet ramblings, and I promise that 2011 will be more upbeat, and contain more useful information for my readers. Without further adieu, here are the results for the FlaAuthor.wordpress.com blog.
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Thoughts from an Unemployed Professional November 2010

These results are very modest, compared to my competition, but have served to introduce Views from Sandhausen: Experiences from a Foreign Service Assignment. For an author, it is all about building a platform before releasing a book. Given that half of my income in 2010 was consumed by medical expenditures, and that was WITH great medical coverage, the end of the tunnel is in sight and you can expect more in 2011, afer my finances stabilize.
As I have told you all before, May your year of 2011 be the best ever for all of you (and me)!
