They replied that my stats were too low and that I was welcome to reapply "in a couple of months, once your blog has had time to grow." Thanks, guys.

Plus, I am Dallas girl too and I gotta give a BIG HIGH FIVE for Texan girls ;p After reading this I realized, like you, blogging creates a outlet and a HUGE source of happiness for me beyond all the other craziness and my life. So maybe, we just blog for fun and if it turns out it's successful with a huge following then KICK ASS, if not, at least we have our own little blog space in this virtual world.<br /><br />oxox, <br />Amanda, Fun In The Oven BlogAmanda @ Fun In The Oven Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144488631216230894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-51060551243466320172014-03-07T08:11:16.226-06:002014-03-07T08:11:16.226-06:00Totally love this post.

Funny part is I started mine cause I was working on my certificate in web design, and for our final class you had to create a website. They said a blog would count so thought it would be easy, and I could learn WordPress. Had a lot of fun playing around learning WordPress, and wanted to keep it going even after I finished. Just trying to learn more about blogging now. My hubby always says I am just playing when I work on my blog. He doesn't understand it is actual work lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-69686480453580776682014-03-07T04:46:56.028-06:002014-03-07T04:46:56.028-06:00I think you are doing just fine, I'm just havi...I think you are doing just fine, I'm just having a blog because I like to do it.

I hate when people say - Oh grow your blog this way - because I've tried everything under the sun and it just never happened for me and I'm OK with that now!

If you're putting your heart into it and you're being yourself and you enjoy what you're doing, that's a reward in itself. And sure, I'd like thousands of people reading my blog every day... but I don't want followers for the sake of having followers.
