Blogging Bucket List

I've only been blogging for a few short months, but I already have a mile-long list of things that I want to accomplish before the end of my blogging career, which I hope isn't any time soon!  With a lot of hard work, persistence, and patience, I hope that that I am able to achieve these goals:

• Publish 3-4 substantial blog posts per week. (Thanks to #bloglikecrazy, I've already achieved that goal!) 
  
• Build a readership of at least 500 active readers by my first blog birthday. (May 16, 2014)  
• Have one of my blogging idols to guest post on my blog.  (The Sowell Life, Love Brown Sugar, Divas and Dorks, The Park Wife, BB Product Reviews)
• Guest post on one of my favorite blogs.  
• Have my blog professionally designed.
• Build my blog's Facebook page.  
  
• Get more shares of my blog posts on social media sites. 
• Attend a face-to-face blogging event.
• Get more traffic on my blog.
• Get more comments on my blog posts.
• Host a giveaway on my blog.
• Create an editorial calendar to help me stay focused and organized. 
• Monetize my blog.
