Back in April 2008 I knew absolutely nothing about how to set up a blog. I simply wanted a place to voice my opinions about all things health, fitness and nutrition related.
A friend, knowing my complete lack of technical savvy, pointed me in the direction of Blogger. Hands down, if you are looking to launch a blog, Blogger is as simple as it gets. The truth is, I never expected anyone other than family and friends to even see this blog, so I didn't feel the need for anything flashy.
Now, almost a year later, Catapult Fitness Blog has 199 Newsletter subscribers, 98 RSS subscribers, and on average 139 unique visitors per day. I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for taking an interest in my ramblings!
While I still get a thrill each and every day that I hit "post", this blog is no longer simply about getting to see my opinions in print. I know from the emails that I receive that this blog has made a difference in more than a handful of lives. It has motivated some to start an exercise program for the first time, and it has provided the tools to enable others to lose a significant amount of weight which ultimately will lead to a longer, healthier life.
This blog is really for you the reader.
As such, if something is not working correctly, let me know! I only have 1-week of HTML under my belt, so you may indeed find some glitches along the way.
And hey, if you hate the color scheme, I'm open to suggestions! I'm a little wishy-washy on using brown for the post headers, but am waiting to see if it grows on me. What do you think?
Most importantly, please keep sharing your success stories. I cannot fully tell you how much they mean to me. If you're feeling brave, leave a comment so others can join in on the discussion!
To kick off Catapult Fitness Blog V.2.0 there will be a product review and sweepstakes this coming Monday, so I hope we'll have lot's of entries as there will be three prizes awarded at random*
* The sweepstakes is being sponsored by the product manufacturer and only individuals in the US and Canada will be eligible.
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.
Susan
