New Year’s Resolution: You do have one right?

I love Philadelphia, my hometown!

Here we are on New Year’s Eve and although many bloggers have plans to celebrate this evening, they don’t have plans on how make 2010 better than 2009 for their blogs.

Sure, we could all use blog goals and objectives but all I’m asking right now is this: What promise did you make to yourself so your blog can continue to grow and thrive?

As many of us already know, the practice of writing something down makes it real. So if you haven’t come up with your New Year’s resolution yet, take a few minutes to think of one and write it down somewhere. Better yet, post it on your blog!

Here’s mine:

I promise to continue to write fresh, original, useful articles and harvest relationships within the bloggers’ community.

See how easy that is? The next steps include creating those aforementioned blog goals and objectives. We’ll save that for another day.

So what’s your New Year’s resolution?

  My New Year’s Resolution is to keep improving my blog so it benefits my readers in whatever way works best for them to find and share information with me on any level.

    It’s a lot harder than it sounds but the bloggers who can persevere through the rough patches have no where to go but up.

    Definitely a great outlook. Life-long learning is a wonderful attitude. As someone trains adults learners, it’s always a pleasure to be in a classroom of students with this mindset.

  Frankly I’ll stick to goals since I find resolutions arbitrary and, well, a little silly.

    A whole year longer is actually quite an accomplishment considering burnout rate is so high.
