New Years Resolutions

The new year is a time for a new beginning and changes. You can start afresh, make resolutions, make this year the best. Along with the new year always comes a certain thing. You know it!
- New year resolutions.

This year I have got a few blogging New Year resolutions - so here we go.

Be more artistic in my posts.
Comment and read other people's blogs more.
Post at least 20 times each month.
Try to stick more to weekly themes, and don't miss any Wordless Wednesdays etc.
Host at least one giveaway during the year (20,00 pageviews maybe?...)

It appears that I have already made quite a good start to the year, by being awarded the 'Blog of 2012 The Year' award, by Speedy the cheeky house bunny. Thank you Speedy!! This really means a lot to me! :D

The rules are pretty simple. If you receive the award, you must pass it on. But this award is special, as you can receive it multiple times to get more stars on the badge. You can give it to any number of blogs you like, you can give it to the person to gave it to you, or someone who already has the award, but has not got all six stars. To see the rules in more detail and get the badge, go to this web address.

Now for my prize winners! In no particular order:

Hope you had a great New Year's Day, and have a great 2013 to come!

Weird web searches... Part I

Today I am going to be putting up a list of weird web searches.

These are real things people have searched on the internet and come across my blog as a result.

So, without further ado, here are the weird web searches from 1 to 10:

1. 'hampstar tail'

This just made me laugh because of the spelling. Hampstar? Really? These people really need to learn how to spell....

2. 'animal tails this is why im broke'

I can't even begin to consider what that could actually mean. It doesn't make sense to man nor beast. I can't imagine what the person who searched this hoped to find... Stories about animal tails making people broke? Sounds quite unlikely to me, but there we have it...

3. 'anima(s200.plogspot.com'

Ummm... what even is that supposed to mean?... but I checked, and my blog is the first thing that comes up under Google... oh dear. I guess it could be autocorrect... maybe?

4. 'χαμστερ'

I reasearched this. It means hamster in Greek. I was actually quite impressed that my blog came up under this! ;)

5. 'drawings of halo 4'

Seeing as Halo 4 is some army type boys game for the PlayStation, I found it a little weird that my website came up under that... The internet is so odd sometimes...

-------------------------------------------

This post was inspired by Chaotic Scribbles from Hamster Diaries blog, as she did a post all about the weird things people have searched to get to her blog.

e.g. 'how to milk a hamster'. And yes, you read that right... worrying...

New blog schedule?

I have decieded that I haven't been doing enough posts on a regular basis.

At the moment when I have spare time I will write a post and probably publish it straight away when I've finished writing it, but that means that if I have a busy week I hardly ever post...

So, to solve the problem, I have decided to do a couple of weekly and monthly things. If I have a lot of time one week I can always write extra posts, or write some and schedule them for the next week.

You may have noticed that I have started doing 'Willow's Post's and 'Wordless Wednesday' each week, and I will continue to do this every week from now on. I will also be hosting a monthly caption contest on the first of the month each month - so keep your eye out for that.

I hope having these regular posts will make my blog better, and help my readers know when I will be posting!

Please feel free to comment on whether you like this new schedule and the new posts, or what you think of this blog is missing etc. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
