A Blog Milestone and two Carnival Roundups!

On September 1st, my blog hit triple digit RSS feed subscribers, clocking in at exactly 100. After a tiny dip yesterday, it came back strong and today is again in triple digits at 104. Yay! That’s an exciting blog milestone for me, I should come up with something to do to celebrate. Thanks to all my subscribers and my readers too! And if you’re a reader and thinking about becoming a subscriber, here’s a handy link to do just that. It’s fun!

In other blog-related happenings, two carnivals that included articles of mine went live:

The Carnival of Debt Reduction is up at DebtFREE-Revolution, and my post Key to Significant Debt Reduction So Far was included. Some of the other articles I particularly enjoyed in this edition were:

How to Make Sure That Your Extra Payments Go Towards Reducing Your Principle from We’re In Debt. Sallie Mae… I am looking at you. I will make you apply extra payments to principal. You just watch me.

When just enough is good enough from Growing Up …. Micropayments! Bring on the micropayments!

and for a needed humor break, Here’s A Crazy Idea: How About A Six-Month Prohibition to Cut Debt, Eliminate Alcoholism, and Save Families posted at Punny Money. I am still chuckling. Sometimes you need to just think out of the box!

I submitted an article for the first time to the All Women Blogging Carnival hosted by Ugly Mailbox. My article Think Small Dream Big was included along with submissions from several other great woman bloggers (and even a man I see lol). Some of the other submissions I particularly enjoyed were:

WRITING YOUR BOOK - How to begin from Personal Growth with Corinne Edwards. Hasn’t everyone daydreamed about writing a book? Maybe someday I’ll become organized enough to start myself.

My Unbalanced Life - Top 7 Things I Do To Stay Sane and Productive from Julie Anne Bonner. I really like this list, although one of the things I like most about working from home is not having to get dressed up every day…. I especially like the idea list. I have an idea list too, although I’ve been transferring it to an online version lately as I posted about this morning.

Hope you enjoy the Carnivals and thanks to everyone out there for helping my blog grow!!

    And many thanks for the inclusion of my article.

    Be brave! Write the book!

  2. Good luck! May your blog grow and grow!

    I think it is less about brave and more about lazy for me. lol

  3. Congrats!

    I put up the feed number on my site when I passed a 100 and of course it immediately dropped back down to 95 for a few days…
