Most Popular Posts for 2010

I know I'm a week late but I wanted to share the top 10 posts of 2010.  I did a little bit of Blogging between 2008 and 2009 and really got serious this past Spring.  When I joined Blog Frog is when the Blogging Gene, disease, obsession started -----------  I consider that my blogversary.  Anyways, over the last year I've met amazing people, as you all know you are, that were helpful and encouraging.  It's almost like joining a special sorority.  I didn't belong to one I went to college in my late 20's.  I hope to one day go to a blogging event and meet some of my blogging heroes.  One of my top heroes is  Red from Red Headed Ritter.  She has helped me create Headers and many other great things.  In the beginning of my blogging obsession I was lost and wanted to make my blog special like others.  I'm still small but I'm growing as I learn more about myself and continue to write and share about my world.

Here are the Top 10 Blogs from 2010




1)  Office Clipboard:  Before and After, August 13, 2010

This is my first craft project since I started to blog.  I loved what other people had done and wanted to make one for myself.  I recently had my room painted a very soft pink and it looks great against my wall.

2)  Yeah I'm getting more Barbies plus Free Coloring Pages, August 20, 2010

6) Kat's First Halloween Video Party, October 15, 2010
Natalie and I and a few friends created a Halloween video with paper dolls and fun backgrounds.   We did this for the Halloween Party at "A Fanciful Twist".  Go to this post to see the video.  Vanessa just loved it, I think you will too.

31 Days to a Better Blog Day 4- Successful Blog in my Niche

I have chosen to look at 3 different blogs.  One about Barbies, since I sell them; 2nd about fibromyalgia and 3rd a Blogger that I follow in Blog Frog.

The first blog is:  http://mukla-barbie.blogspot.com/

This blog is all about Barbie dolls.  It talks about all the collector dolls, dolls that can be played with, Barbie Cars, Parties, controveries and more.  It is a great "go to" place to get an idea of what is out in the Barbie World.  There are other sites like this but this one has the best info and pictures.

The 2nd Blog is:  http://fibromyalgiaexperiment.com/

This blog is about a woman who is trying to find ways to cope with fibromyalgia symptoms and ways to make the symptoms dissappear.  Again this is a good blog for me since I have fibro and constantly trying to find ways to be symptom free.  She has clear posts and good links to follow.  She combines medical, emotional and personal information.  I can relate to her and am glad to read about someone like me.

The 3rd Blog is:  http://theredheadriter.blogspot.com/

I found this blog through the communities of Blog Frog.  Red (that is my nickname for her) has 8 blogs and has links to all of them.  Some give information, some have humor and all have stuff that helps all bloggers.  I have asked Red for advice with my blog and she has graciously taken time to help a newbie.  I look at how she has things organized and learn about that, but I also look to see what I would do differently.  She is the top (as far as readers and followers) blogger in Blog Frog almost 4000 followers in her community.  This astounds me!  I have 63 as of today. :)  It isn't just cause she is a successful blogger that I read her blogs, it is because she has a great sense of humor and is a giving person.  To me this means success can come when you can laugh at yourself and the world and when you are caring and giving to others.

31 Days to a Better Blog. Day 1- An Elevator Pitch

I started to work on this last week because I knew I was going to be busy this week.  When I started my elevator pitch it turned into the complete "about me" page in my blog.  I was really motivated after learning about elevator pitches.

The short version is this:

My blog started out as an extention of my e-BAY store "Kat's Purrfect Boutique".  I named my blog Kat's Almost Purrfect World because my life is far from perfect and I wanted to connect to my love of cats and my name
 Kat harine.  Anyways,  I realized that my blog would be more fun if it was about me, my daughter, my cats and my life.  I wanted to share what it's like to have fibromyalgia and why I started to sell Barbies and more online.
