I'm happy to announce that Derek's Home and Business Blog is now one year old and therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my followers and visitors for your continued support and for making the blog a soaring success. You make this blog and the work that goes into it all worthwhile.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of Bloggers Network who have supported me and my blog for the past 8 months. Thank you to all the wonderful and talented authors who I'm proud to be associated with.
When I first setup the blog on the 8th August of last year, it's primarily aim was to provide a more personal approach with a little bit of business banter thrown in. In fact and one year on, business banter is now an understatement...it's now more highly business orientated than I first anticipated.
Business, SEO and marketing (plus social media) has always been my passion and when I see something really interesting (which is daily), I just cannot help myself but to blog about it. I do try to add personal posts about myself but the business, SEO and marketing side always seems to win. This is not a bad thing as blogging on a personal level is all about something you are passionate about and the topics mentioned above are certainly the case.
Given this, I'm going to make some changes to the blog over the next few weeks. First and foremost will be the description of the blog. Having business banter in the description just doesn't cut it anymore or do the blog justice. Another change I'm looking at is a new layout. Since I'm completely hopeless at design, this may take some time :)
Anyhow, I'm so happy to see how the blog has progressed over the past year and it's through my dedicated followers, my friends at Bloggers Network and the amount of visitors I receive daily that makes me so proud that people enjoy my blog and the posts I provide. I will continue to bring you more of the same for the foreseeable future.
Again, thank you for your continued support and for making the blog a soaring success. Here's to the next 12 months :)
