Joybee, What's for Dinner? : 17 Great Ideas for Grilling (for Memorial Day)

Best of the Month May 2014

A recap of my most popular posts from last month (May 2014)

No chocolate recipes this month but I am happy to see that every post (except the great idea thursdays) got 100 or more views and at least 1 comment, many have more. The biggest contributor to this, I believe, is link parties. I changed my link party strategy about 2 months ago. I now try to post my links as soon as the party opens. Before I was more lackadaisical and would just link up when ever I thought about it. Now, thanks to some blogging tips I read, I have my favorite link parties and their start times on my google calendar and I get a notification when they are soon to start. I'm still working on my social media presence but there is always room for improvement.
