In the past, I&#8217;ve celebrated my blogging anniversary with posts about things I&#8217;ve learned about blogging in that year. I&#8217;ve listed them all at the end of this post so you can follow the whole journey.<\/p>\n<p>I dallied with crowdsourcing the post by posting a Facebook callout, where regular readers shared their most memorable posts with me. Here are a few:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2010\/04\/and-so-i-opened-the-suitcase\/\">And so I opened the suitcase<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2017\/04\/6-tips-for-getting-back-into-the-swing-with-your-writing\/\">6 tips for getting back into the swing with your writing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2012\/02\/you-will-never-find-time-to-write-your-novel\/\">You will never find time to write your novel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But at the end of the day, I&#8217;ve decided that I&#8217;m going to do two things to celebrate this milestone.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Share the biggest thing I&#8217;ve learned about blogging in 10 years.<\/li>\n<li>Share MY favourite posts from 10 years of blogging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Brace yourselves.<\/p>\n<h4>The biggest lesson I&#8217;ve learned about blogging in 10 years<\/h4>\n<p>So, the <strong>biggest lesson I&#8217;ve learned about blogging in 10 years is that blogging is about connections<\/strong>. The thing is, it didn&#8217;t really take me 10 years to grasp this. In fact, I blogged about it in my FIRST year. It&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2011\/01\/why-blogging-is-not-writing\/\">Why Blogging Is Not Writing<\/a> and it also came up on the list of reader favourites.<\/p>\n<p>This lesson was reinforced for me in the most painful of circumstances in January when a dear friend of mine &#8211; who I met through blogging and with whom I would never have made friends were it not for blogging &#8211; lost her beloved husband very suddenly. I think about her every day, and I make contact with her every few days, just to let her know I&#8217;m thinking of her. To connect.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not blogging to connect with people, you&#8217;re not doing it right.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>My favourite posts from 10 years of blogging<\/h4>\n<p>These are not the most popular posts. They&#8217;re not necessarily the ones that bring the most traffic. They&#8217;re the posts that make me smile, the ones that remind me of how blogging really helped me to bring my writing voice down from &#8216;broadcast&#8217; (think magazines, newspapers, writing for others) to <a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2012\/10\/writing-tips-how-to-write-a-better-blog\/\">&#8216;intimate&#8217;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The ones that helped me to develop my <a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2018\/02\/my-top-3-tips-from-9-years-of-author-blogging\/\">inside voice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of them are (gasp) posts I&#8217;ve written for other people&#8217;s blogs.<\/p>\n<p>And here they are, in no particular order.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2011\/01\/growing-up\/\">Growing up<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2011\/07\/getting-ready-for-big-school-is-for-the-birds\/\">Getting ready for Big School is for the birds<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2010\/03\/it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time\/\">It seemed like a good idea at the time<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writerunboxed.com\/2015\/04\/12\/are-you-ignoring-your-best-ideas\/\">Are you ignoring your best ideas?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/readingtime.com.au\/l-tait-love-reluctant-heroes\/\">Why I love reluctant heroes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2010\/08\/in-writing-as-in-life-ride-your-own-race\/\">In writing, as in life, ride your own race<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2010\/08\/where-angels-fear-to-tread\/\">Where angels fear to tread<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2012\/01\/words-no-parent-wants-to-hear-this-could-be-highly-dangerous\/\">Words no parent wants to hear: &#8220;This could be highly dangerous.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2016\/03\/10-things-to-do-while-youre-waiting-on-your-writing\/\">10 things to do while you&#8217;re waiting on your writing<\/a> (<em>I still hate waiting so I go back to this one often<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2013\/08\/the-big-questions-birds-and-bees-and-whales\/\">The big questions: birds and bees and &#8230; whales<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.<\/p>\n<p>And here are some of those other posts about blogging I mentioned:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2018\/02\/my-top-3-tips-from-9-years-of-author-blogging\/\">My top 3 tips from nine years of author blogging\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2015\/01\/one-thing-ive-learnt-in-my-fifth-year-of-blogging\/\">The one thing I&#8217;ve learnt in my fifth year of blogging<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2011\/08\/you-do-what-you-do\/\">My #1 tip for bloggers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2015\/04\/blogging-inviting-readers-home\/\">Blogging: inviting readers home<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2012\/01\/12-things-i-learned-in-my-second-year-of-blogging\/\">12 things I learned in my 2nd year of blogging<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2014\/01\/3106\/\">Four things I learned in my fourth year of blogging<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2013\/01\/three-things-ive-learned-in-my-third-year-of-blogging\/\">Three things I&#8217;ve learned in my third year of blogging<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To those members of my community who have been with me since the Life In A Pink Fibro days, I say thank you for your comments, your encouragement and your support.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To those who&#8217;ve discovered the blog more recently, to visit regularly or just to pop in occasionally, I say thank you for jumping on board and sharing my journey.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re new here, welcome!
