Hi,

I have lots of frugal tips and recipes on my blog, under the TIGHTWAD TUESDAY category. You will find recipes for body care items (shampoo, anti-perspirant, facial cleanser, Bath & Body hand soaps, sugar scrub), plus LOTS of homemade cleaning recipes. My all-purpose cleaner also kills germs, so I not only use it to clean my windows, I use it to clean my countertops! I have laundry soap, fabric softener, homemade shout recipes and so much more! I hope you can stop by!

Amanda- you can sign up on Feedburner. They will give you your daily totals, which pages get the most visits, where people are coming from and going to. It’s very helpful info. Hope that helps

Thanks for this post, Lisa- I am just getting started so it’s nice to see what people enjoy reading. I’m really trying to go into it thinking that what matters is that I enjoy doing it and not necessarily how many readers I get….but all that to say that I want some readers or it’s no fun and there’s no interaction!

I loved reading about Blog Scouting. I too love to find new blogs and I can usually tell within a minute or two what I think. For instance, immeditely, I liked your “voice.” I’ll be coming back for more! Thanks for articulating this information.

Amanda,

You use blogspot, but I use Wordpress, so I don’t know how to tell you to look for your stats. You can visit PursuingSimplicity.blogspot.com and ask Vickie. She has great stats, is a computer whiz and helps me along. Hope that’s of some help.

Hi Lisa! I found you, guess how? I love finding new blogs, too!

I have a question… I’ve been blogging for almost five years, and I’m still such a technical doofus I don’t know how to find out my daily hit number. Where do I look?? Thanks!

I agree on the content and belly button musings. When I visit a new blog, I’m less likely to return if I see a lot of memes and such. Even if it means posting less often, I’d rather see true content.

I am always looking into new blogs! I love your criteria. If you don’t have time to read all entries today, do what I do…. Go back and read them throughout the week! I love reading everyone’s and would hate to miss a good one

Just tried to comment-apparently got eaten, so you may get me twice Just found your blog and like what I see so far! I really appreciate people who share financial tips in an accessible way since I definitely belong on the low financial-IQ couch, but always trying to improve! Thanks for all the tips, I will definitely be checking back!

You are so right - I enjoy the sense that I am getting to know the people who are writing and I like the personal stories about things that have worked for them or things that are changing their lives.

Great post!
