How about a few blogging tips? Nothing complicated. Just a few things that I've found helpful.
1. If you want to increase traffic to your blog, join Pinterest. I resisted for a very long time. But it turns out to be a great way to bring people to your blog when you post recipes or crafts. I wish I'd joined sooner. And no, I don't spend a lot of time over there!
2. If you want to increase your followers, do giveaways, and have an entry just for your blog followers.
3. For a laugh, go check your stats sometimes. One of today's google hits that brought a reader to my site? "LOVE MY CHICKEN LEGS".
4. After four years, I still feel like I have so much to learn. I would love to increase my Facebook following. If any of you have tips for doing this, let me know.
5. The most rewarding part of blogging is helping others. I love the community of support and kindness between bloggers, and it's what keeps me going through the months. Thank you, readers!

I don't remember how I found your blog but it is one that I look at every day and I think you are the closest blogger to my location so we usually have the same weather and sometimes power outages. Happy blogging!
I totally agree with your tips! I am so thankful you started this blog.
Happy Blogiversary! :)
I had to gigle at #3, I did this once and it was too funny!
Happy day! It takes a lot of time as well to build a good following for a blog. You've done GREAT!
It is lots of fun,i always look forward to new posts
Happy 4 Year Blogiversary, Lisa!
Congrats on year 4 Lisa ~ I very much enjoy it here !
Congratulations!! 4 years of blogging is ALOT of writing :)
I love blogging and did so at yahoo 360, then moved to Multiply, and when that one closed came to Blogger and really enjoy it the most. I don't keep a large number of followers. I like knowing each one on a more personal level and if I have hundreds I don't feel I can keep up. I also have a small # of friends on Facebook for the same reason. Hope you can find how to add more on yours.
How exciting! I just started blogging a year ago, thanks for the tips!
Happy 4 years! I totally agree about Pinterest and giveaways.
i'm 3 1/2 yrs into blogging. i don't face, tweet or pin. just blog. but this community is a wonderful one we live in. sweet, sweet, sharing and supportive souls. :)
Happy Blogiversary!
Haha, I had to laugh about the STATS. I am always cracking up over what brings people to my blog and apparently, it's Fabio's Body. Hahahahahaha

Happy blogiversary ;-) and I'm so glad that you continue to blog!
Happy Blogiversary!! I'm so glad I found your blog, Lisa. I always enjoy my visits, and I have enjoyed getting to know you better. Good tips. I just can't seem to get the hang of Pinterest. I'm not sure I have much to offer there, though I have found some cool craft ideas.
CONGRATS, my friend!!! :)
Great tips Lisa! Thanks. :). Wow, four years. That's a long time. I love having kind blog friends too.
I am very new to blogging, about two months, so thank you for your tips. I feel like I learn something new everyday.
It is a big accomplishment to be blogging for so many years. You are a great inspiration.
Happy blog anniversary, Baby Girl and thanks for passing on your secrets!...:)JP
Thank you for the tips, Lisa!
I started for fun, but would like to get more serious with my blog now.
Congratulations on your 4 years!!
Congrats to you! :) I only blog, no FB, twitter or whatever else there is. :) You do have me curious about pinterest. :)
These are some really good tips that I never thought of! Yes,I have been a member of Pinterest for awhile, but I never thought of posting something from my blog. I love your cutie pie emerald frog!
I'm somewhat against the giveaways for getting followers purposes, I always get the feeling they push the follow button just to get a chance to win, not for the actual content of the blog. Well, I have never hosted GAs, so I should give it a try.
Happy Blogiversary! You have such a great following, you should be very proud of yourself.
Happy anniversary! It is funny sometimes what searches bring people to my blog. Always good for a laugh :)
Congratulations on the 4 great years. I always enjoy stopping by and reading about your boys.
You have a pleasant, interesting blog. You're a good writer, and always positive. I hope you have many more years of writing ahead of you.
Congratulations Lisa! Four years is major! May you enjoy many more to come:)
Congrats to you! I'm thrilled that I found you. :)
The stats crack me up. For a long time, was getting a lot of readers searching for "Agri-Porn"
There are some weird people out there. :)
Pinterest is such a great way of sharing ideas. I love it. Congrats on 4 years of blogging!
Well done, Lisa! Four years and moving right along. Hope yo have another four, and then some. You've got such wonderful ideas.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
