My Blogging History

Somethings you (might) not know about my blogging history:

1) The Grass Stain Guru, Bethe, was the first complete stranger to comment on my blog. {Thank you Bethe!} I felt like a little girl in a candy store when I read it.

2) The first blog I started following was Metropolitan Mama.

3) As a result of Stephanie’s Tuesday Tours {on MM} I started contributing to 5 Minutes for Going Green. {And have a post Timeless Toys featured there today}.

4) Alison of Loving Natures Garden gave me a ton of advice for plug-ins and info on how to use Twitter. She’s loaded with wisdom about nature.

5) You can follow me @backyardmama {but I am learning so be gentle- please!}

6) Carey Baker of Midnight Son Designs is a great website/ blog designer and he’s given me a lot of great advice about blogging.

7) Carey also blogs at North East Abundance.

8) This is my 50th post… to  many more. Thanks all for the encouragement.

I look forward to sharing more about me as time goes on… I am off for some fresh air and cloud cover. Ugh…

    Congratulations on your 50th post!
    1) How great that Bethe gave your first ever comment.
    2) Metropolitan Mama was the first blog I visited too – she wrote about a product I was selling at the time through my children’s book business and thus introduced me to blogging.
    3) I’ve contributed at 5 minutes to Going Green too – once upon a time.
    4) Thanks for the shout out! I’m so glad to see everything working fine now with Firefox. Love your new setup :-)

    I had been following Bethe off and on with the Mystery Critters and oh my, it was like christmas when I got a comment from her. I do appreciate your help with plugins and twitter… I so enjoy the nature bloggers. And REALLY I learn new things from your blog with each post! Thanks!

    Debi- The support is really awesome! It was a last minute aha moment when I decided to do this 50th post. It is fun, and I kind of can’t believe that I have written only 50 posts, or as many as that… anyways… I love your blog and am excited to exchange ideas

  • Bethe says:

    Awww, fun!!! Lucky me :o )! Kudos on hitting 50 posts. I started The Grass Stain Guru back in March — it’s amazing how fast time goes.

    Keep up the great work. Cheers- Bethe @balmeras
