Here we are again, back with yet another “Follower Milestone” post! We were having these so often, I skipped what would have been the “700 Followers” and “800 Followers” posts, instead waiting for the bigger milestone- 900!
Well that was…fast. Didn’t we just have the last one about two and a half weeks ago? Yes, we did. My blog not only set a new personal record for the fastest time to gain 100 followers (in two weeks, actually given that I hit 600 a few days ago), but it also set massive new records for traffic, including reaching 200 daily views for the first time, then proceeding to do this three times in a single week.
And we are back yet again with our 500 followers celebration! What an awesome honor to do another one of these only six weeks after the last! As usual, we are averaging around 2-4 followers a day, and Africa Boy (soon to be changed) has now reached 50% of its goal- 1,000 followers! Give yourselves a round of applause! You guys are fantastic.
I am so glad to be celebrating this one in the United States. In fact, the actual timing of 500 followers was interesting. I literally hit 500 followers two hours after landing in the United States. What a welcome home present!
So, with that, we’re going to do a couple of things. Firstly, I’m going to give a couple of awards, the “Post of the Month” award, one from my own blog and one from another’s. I’m also going to give the “Encouraging Blogger of the Month” award, followed shortly by the “Featured Blog of the Month”. Alrighty, let’s do this.
