Thanks DC Blogs

I've been blogging for almost five years about living in DC compared to the Midwest and a lot of subjects in between. I write something every day whether we are home or away. Every once in awhile one of my entries grabs the attention of DCBlogs and it gets mentioned on their site. I usually notice it because the stats for views increases. I never know what subject it might be but I always appreciate the attention. This time the subject was about AAA service for a flat tire. It's bad enough to happen at home but a lot worse on travel. So I always thank DC Blogs for noticing an entry and tweet about it. Then they notice the tweet and I favorite it. So thanks once again DC Blogs. Now I need to think of another subject you might like - preferably a more pleasant one. 

Thanks DC Blogs

I've been writing a daily blog entry for over three years. That includes the days when I am away on vacation - something that just occurred this month when we were visiting friends in England and France, and in August when both my parents were in the hospital in Florida at the same time. Most of the entries are supposed to have something to do with life on Capitol Hill compared to Milwaukee where we lived for thirty years. Every once in a while my blog entry is noticed by DC Blogs. I'm always so pleased because it boosts my outreach.  And as always, I thank them for promoting it. In this world of social media it's hard to keep up with it all and every little bit helps. This time the Library of Congress employee art show was highlighted. I have two digital art pieces on display on the sixth floor of the Madison Building. What a great opportunity for exposure not only there but on DC Blogs.

It happens once in awhile and I notice it every time it does. DC Blogs noted my blog entry yesterday about our tomato plant. And today my blog stats increased. It's always nice to attract readers to your blog and this is one of the best ways to do it. I'm never sure what will be of interest, but my blog is all about observations and photos. I really appreciate the boost, and always send a thank you, and mention it in my blog the same day. My parents taught us good manners, and this is certainly a great occasion to send a thank you note. Can't wait for the next notice!

Thanks DC Blogs

When I check the number of visits to my blog LIT's Living on Capitol Hill-Hell, it's always more entertaining whenever there is a spike. And such was the case today when my blog entry about Capitol Hill feeling like Milwaukee from yesterday was noted by DC Blogs. I've been entering a daily story with photos for three years now. The idea is to compare living in the Midwest to living in the Nation's Capitol. It takes a lot of persistence and dedication which can be both good and bad characteristics. It is also nice to be noticed for something someone may find somewhat entertaining. I always liked to write, take pictures, and draw. Luckily for me I have the electronic equipment that makes it even easier. Thanks again DCBlogs. I really appreciate it!
