Hi there friends! How is everyone? How is your Fall going? Cool weather is here and my windows are opened… loving it! Had a very weird week and I am really tired. Looking forward to “binge watching” Dare Devil on Netflix! What do you have in store for your weekend! Beside my binge watching… I have taken to doing a lot of meal prepping lately because I need even more time than usual for blogging… so cooking and writing blog posts are going to make up a large part of the weekend along with some picture taking.
In case any of you experience a loss in hits recently… it is most probably because of a major algorithm change. I am in a facebook group for my ad agency and there was a massive discussion there. So many were affected by it in a negative way…I was one of them. I lost a ton of daily hits and it really does hurt… especially this time of year. I just didn’t want you to think something else was wrong.
As far as a Blog Tip this week… I am making it really short and simple: GROW Your MAILING LIST!!! It’s the one constant in the world of blogging!!!
Sending tons of Hugs and Love to all…more blogging tips next week… I don’t want to put any more here right now because this is truly one of the most important things you can do for your blog!
It would be wonderful if you take a little bit of time and check out some of your friends here at A Morning Cup of Joe with The Cottage Market

Andrea thanks for hosting again this week. I’ve noticed an increase in traffic on FB. Is it possible the change in algorithms has helped the smaller blogger? Will we ever be able to figure them out?
