Yes, we are on the brink of toddlerhood. A year ago I didn't know a widget from a wicket (not that I know much about wickets today; for this one has to be born and bred with cricket) but I jumped in and started a blog. Well, I am obviously very please that my 'baby' is one.
I know you have lives but check this out when you can:

(A very ready to celebrate)

wow – you're a teenager, or young adult, in blog years. Congrats on the achievement. If you keep making as much progress on your site as you did in the first year, you will go places. :)

Post edited 8:24 am – March 26, 2012 by maria@moneyprinciple
Thank you, my friends for the good wishes. There were two questions I would like to answer.
Jefferson, no I have not run out of post ideas but my view on PF is rather broad. Also, I have a very small stack of posts – whenever I tried to schedule far in advance I have lost readers; people seem to know that I am not there.
This leads me to Roshawn's question; what have I learned? Apart from the usual (that can and may be has to be learned through and from other bloggers) I learned that:
1) It is in my interest to support others to become better; this raises standards so I become better. Hence, the Yakezie has got it right – selflessly supporting others is good for them, for ourselves and for the group as a whole.
2) Blogging is another proof that 'good things come to the one's who wait'. Well, not passively wait but stick around, experiment, change and learn. Overnight success takes a lot of time and hard work.
3) I am not convinced that one should agonise long to work out who their audience is. Two reasons: first, being very specific can be restrictive and snooker you in a very tight niche; and second, it is very likely that you are going to end up writing for people like you – otherwise it sounds false. Hence, blogging is also a road to self-discovery and re-invention.
4) There are two kind of blogs – fora and agoras. The fora spean with 'the voice of authority' and the 'agoras' provide a platform for discussion. I want to build an agora.
Learning aside, blogging allowed me to meet many wonderful and interesting people. Thanks again and happy blogging.
Maria

Thanks but I think this will take more than a push. Have been hoverring around 100k for quite a long time now and it seems that going below this will need change along several ways (including guest posting, submitting to carnivals etc.). I suppose the good news is that we are hoverring around 100k on the very basics – it is like running fifty miles in plimsoles; we need running shoes.
