100 000 hits.. took me almost 2 in addition to one-half years to larn this. Sometimes I practice experience embarassed. There are in addition to hence many newer blogs than mine that receive got long agone achieved this, in addition to some few calendar month former blogs are already one-half of where I am.
I admit,
1. I had been lazy, non updating my spider web log every bit oftentimes every bit I should, making my banking concern of drafts getting bigger in addition to bigger past times the day. Facebook's Restaurant City took upwardly much of my 2009.
2. I've been rattling passive. Haven't been reading much blogs, alone the handful, in addition to when I practice read blogs , I rarely comment. Guess it's a 2 agency thing. People won't know I be unless I tell them that I do. Well, non that I'm insincere amongst what I nation virtually their food, I am rattling sincere, exactly that if it's good, tell them. Now, I no longer drib dead along the "Good job, Well done, Thumbs up" inwards my heart, but I volition actually tell them through comments.
Since I changed my blog's interface(after Surprise Egg), it definately changed my reader's perspectives to rest on. I got a lot lot to a greater extent than hits than before. Maybe due to the bigger pictures (errr... lots of blogs receive got much smaller pics in addition to they larn lots f hits), or perchance due to the pinkish subject now.. makes things seems sweeter :)
But the existent fact is that, I've got a lot to a greater extent than linkups to blogs than few months back, in addition to at nowadays my 2/3 of my traffic comes from referring sites, compared to 2009 where 60% came from straight traffic.
Statistics based on Mac1-Mac31 2010 in addition to Nov29-Dec-28 2009
Daily visitors on average : 92-256 (now), 30-80 (2009)
Returning visitors per month: 2863 (now), 1098 (2009)
See the difference?? It's exactly a affair of three months in addition to I'm rattling surprised in addition to at the same fourth dimension rattling happy.

If I were to brand this again, I'll pose inwards some baking pulverisation to the sponge, in addition to hence that I tin dismiss receive got slightly to a greater extent than fluffy cake. This 1 is fine.. but I'd similar to endure be fluffier. One regret tho, I used regular nighttime eating chocolate for the shavings. If I used Lindt 90% nighttime on it.... Wooohooo!!! Super Yummy!!!
Oh yeah, in addition to I didn't pose inwards plenty DDL cream for the fillings, cos I was worried it won't endure plenty for the covering. And at nowadays I receive got an extra 2/3 loving cup of DDL cream inwards my fridge. Any regrets virtually that, yeah....... :(

So, blogger friends, to receive out DDL.
