In reply to Liv. You are so right, fresh eyes are a blessing! I've come back to blogging with a renewed sense of happiness. Like you said we started blogging because we love writing. There something we want to say and share with others. I've definitely let go of that pressure, so I'm extremely happy to just be doing me! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts love ! xx

I always think that when you get stuck with anything you should always take a break and come back to it, fresh eyes are a blessing! I think it's great that you're changing your blog direction and doing it for yourself, that's the whole point of blogging in the first place. We write what we love :) love this Melina xxx

In reply to beautylifemom. Hey Jen, You are totally right, I'm feeling much better now about getting back into writing again. I missed all of you guys! After seeing all your empties posts, I was thinking of trying one for the month of august into September! I'm definitely curious to see how much I use up in a month! Thanks for reading and commenting :) x

Hey again! I totally understand where you were coming from, I wasn't blogging much for a really long time myself and questioned its place in my life. Sometimes we need to be off to figure it out. I know it seems disappointing about stats but it seems like it's only temporary and one of those things that goes away after a while once your new blog name is established or has been around longer. I love that you write from the heart and love when you do your reviews. I would love to see an empties post sometime too- I'm always interested to see what people use up which you're probably not surprised about haha. Glad to see you writing again! XX Jen

In reply to Melina Elisa. It's so frustrating! I'm having to do some serious work to optimize all my SEO and bump up my DA score, there are so many things I didn't know I would have to do once I went self hosted. What I did to up my wordpress reader views was keep my old alwayscleia.wordpress account and now I reblog all my posts from my selfhosted account on there. Now they at least show up in the reader, and I can migrate follows over to the new blog. It's kind of a clunky workaround but it's the best I've come up with :S

In reply to alwayscleia. Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggled with this. It's only been 3 months, but it's bothered me a little bit. I didn't know if there was something wrong with me and my blog! Thanks so much for reading and commenting Cleia :) xx

When I changed my URL to a self hosted domain my views also dropped sharply. I guess most of my traffic was coming from the wordpress reader so without my posts showing up there I need to work more to get my content seen. I'm still trying to recover those stats six months later, but I'm also trying not to fret about it too much. I'm looking forward to see what posts you have planned for your blog coming up!
