Blog-anniversary!!

Exactly a year ago, I was sitting on my computer, checking out some blogs I had found recently. I always loved to read them, the bloggers always had great pictures and fancy entries. I was quite bored that evening, so I spontanously decided to make a blogger-account and wrote my first post. Day after day, I discovered the features of blogger and started to design my blog more and more how I wanted it to be. I only posted when I felt like doing it, sometimes also only once a week. It took me about 4 months or something until I got my first followers. As the weeks passed, I got more and more followers and comments. I also tried out different designs/layouts. I remember that one day in April I had had a really bad day, but then I came home, sat on my computer and saw that I'd reached 50 followers. I was so happy! Then, In June, I finally got my new camera. The pics became better and better, the posts a bit more interesting, and also, not to forget, I think that I quite improved my English during the last few months.
So today, Saturday, 13th November 2010, I celebrate my first blog-anniversary. With this post, I wanna encourage everybody who recently started blogging to not give up. I know that the fist few months are really hard and you sometimes are close to give up because you feel like nobody cares about what you write on your blog. But that is not true! Just look at all the blogs you follow on your Dashboard. Do you always comment on these blog's new posts? I don't think so.You also shouln't think too much about hater comments. Everybody gets them sometimes. Those people might just be jealous. But if you get threats or sexually abusing comments, you should really do something! There are a lot of Anti-Cyberbullying webpages that should help you. I hope that there a many people who read this, because this really means a lot to me! I never expected to get so many followers during my first year as a blog, an I want to thank you all to help me realizing this!
