Over the weekend, WordPress.com sent me a happy blog anniversary note, which was nice and I do appreciate it very much, since I’ve started this blog three years ago, but for some reason, this year has been the most challenging, in terms of blogging.

Just to give you a bit of background. Most blogging sites offer you an option to track your visitors and determine which topics work and what really doesn’t. Year one, I was fine with the wealth of information and blogged accordingly. Year two my blog sky rocketed and I was completely and utterly pleased to know I was on the right track. January of this year, all of a sudden, the wealth of information provided from, what appears to be, all blog hosting sites, instantly diminished and have become inaccurate, disheartening and even discouraging. I am now unable to tell the accurate number of followers, interested in topics and much more.

When I reached out to WordPress, they expressed it was something google had changed and not to pay too much attention to the stats, which I didn’t really understand and left it at that. Since then for the past months, I write my topics and post them and can only hope, someone is reading – because I can no longer tell.

Hence, the question? What is next for me in the blogging world? Do I continue my passion of posting blogs or move on to the one-word site like Pinterest and a one sentence comment like Twitter? I am at a cross-road…

But thank you anyway WordPress.
