800!!!!

Wow, thanks!  I have reached the crazy number of 800 followers.  It's been a long road, one that I intend to continue to travel. 

My blog has had 464,713 views since I began blogging in May 2010.  That blows my mind.  I am aware that a large part of the jump in readership comes from Pinterest, which is why a post from May 2010 (my 7th post, just shortly after I began blogging), is my most viewed post ever, with  11,618 views!  This is ridiculously crazy. The post is about the weird and experimental toothpaste batik method, that I actually have posted about on 4 other occasions.  You can find the other posts by looking through my cloud of labels on the right of the blog. 

In the 2-1/2 years I've been blogging, I've written 468 posts.  My number one traffic source (that's how people find their way to your blog) since I first began blogging is my blogger-buddy Mr. E, though in recent weeks Pinterest has been my biggest source.

 A while back, I added the page 'A Happy Art Room'.  (You can find it by clicking the tab at the top of the blog.)  It continues to get a HUGE number of views, which is odd, because I'm a retired person.  Again, I believe it's because of Pinterest.  There's a photo on that page of my color wheel table (which I left behind for my successor, since it was never really my table to take with me) and I've seen images of it re-pinned countless times on Pinterest.

Anyhow, thanks so much for continuing to visit.  I love the exchange of ideas and opinions, and look forward to many more years of active blogging.  I've still got lots more to post, so keep on visiting!

  1. Phyl, it is amazing how the internet has changed what we do. The world is shrinking! But I have found more ideas and different ways of doing things in the past few years than in say the 10 years before! How exciting! I am proud to be part of a community (art teachers) that freely share what works, or doesn't, to the benifit of our students. Thanks!

  2. Wow, I had never seen the toothpaste batik before! I just pinned it, so maybe you'll get even more hits on that post now :-). Also, Mr. E is also my #1 traffic source! He has such a great blog roll on the side of his page, that I think a lot of art teachers go there for ideas.

  3. Phyl, I found your blog through Mr. E a long while back and was thrilled to meet you at a NYSATA conference a couple years ago... I love your projects and have been inspired so many times! Thanks for keeping up the blog even though you retired! I loved hanging with you at the NAEA and NYSATA conferences!

  6. Take a moment to feel proud. We don't follow dull blogs. A huge thanks for 'following' my blog today. You are my 28th member. I have been feeling dispondant, but you have visited and are one of the Blog Greats.
