I've hit 20,000 views!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can't believe it! As you can see from the title I've hit 20,000 views! When I started my blog 18 months ago, it was a goal of mine to at some point in its existence reach 1000 views. That target came and went  a long time ago and since then as I've watched the views go up, I've slowly just become overwhelmed by the overwhelming response to my little corner of the internet.

Happy New Year! (and sorry I've been away)

I am knee deep in revision and essay writing right now. They're not lying when they say studying midwifery is one of the hardest things to do. My life is a continual balancing act - do I eat, do I sleep, do I revise, do I write my essay, do I socialise, do I relax...? I don't know, I don't think I'll ever know if I'm making the right choices, but while I'm home for Christmas (I go back today though, and just two weeks of my Mum's cooking is not enough!) I thought I'd sit down and give you a little life update.

Coping with Blogging at University

This post will take the form of a rant...and will contain a lot of explanation as to the future of this blog whilst ever I am at University. It was something I'd hoped to write a lot later down the line, however I feel the time has come to just type what I'm thinking about how blogging is going whilst at Uni and what I'm going to do about it.

5 Things I learnt in my first year of blogging

Six months ago, I posted six things that I had learnt in my first six months of blogging. Check that blogpost out here! Having celebrated my first blogiversary (is that what they call them? I'm still a newbie) last week I thought I would post five things that I have learnt in the last few months/year about blogging...I'll make them different to the first six!

Happy Birthday Headlined By Hannah

It's been a year! Wowzers! Headlined by Hannah, my little blog, my tiny piece of the internet is a whole year old! I can't believe how fast this year has gone, how well this blog has done, and how happy it has made me!!!! Prepare for a very exclamation mark heavy, and grammar police treasure of a post....!!!!!

Six tips for staying motivated to Blog

There are days when I get a few hundred views, and everyone of those means as much to me as the two views I could get the day after. But I won't lie, those days, where only a couple of people have looked at my blog do get me down - is the time and effort I put into writing posts, taking pictures, planning and everything else worth it? Well, after not a lot of consideration it definitely is! The days I see my views rising at a pretty rapid pace are the days I always feel more motivated. So I thought I'd sit down (on what I can tell you is a low view day) and write my top six pieces of advice for staying motivated to blog!

The fear of changing your blog template

 

 

This is a post that fellow bloggers out there will probably relate to more than non-bloggers. I've had a nightmare with my blog template the past few weeks and I just wanted to share what's been going on, how I've got to this new design, and my advice for anyone thinking of changing their template.

The Liebster Awards

A couple of weeks ago, the lovely Elise over at Scrapbook nominated me for The Liebster Awards, a little awards thing to get bloggers with under 200 hundreds followers more recognition by getting there names out there a bit more - I hadn't heard of it before I was nominated but I've since seen it on loads of the smaller blogs I read. It's taken me a couple of weeks to get this post together but here it finally is!

6 things I learnt in 6 months of Blogging!

 

Last month marked six months of headlinedbyhannah's existence. While scrolling through my twitter feed I saw a post that someone I done (I can't remember who, sorry!) where they'd tweeted an archive post from their first six months, talking about things they'd learnt! I thought I'd roll with the idea and talk six things I've learnt in my first six months of blogging!

 

My 100 Things | #51 Reach 1000 views on my blog

Everyday I go to my blogger account and see how many views I've had that day. Some days it's just a few...other days it a whole lot more! When I started my blog I set the goal to reach 1000 views. There was no time limit on this, but it was just a little crazy dream, a little seed my Dad had planted in my mind as a possible achievement. I think he said something like 'Imagine if it reached 1000 views this year...'
