Welcome to my September 2024 wrap up!
September is my birthday month and so it's also one of my favourite months of the year. This year I levelled up to 44 (I'm getting old 😱).
Here's a break down of what I got up to this month:
Wrapping Up September: What Happened This Month
Hair
Health
I got ill again 😞 Not really surprising considering the weather we've been having. We went from 40 degrees to 25 degrees with rain and wind from one day to the next. Then it was hot again, then colder with more rain, then hot.... It's been so up and down we never know how to dress in the morning.
Then there's the start of the school term. Every year when they go back to school all the cold's and other bugs start doing the rounds.
It was predictable that I would catch something and I did. First a cold. Actually just a cold, which was good going for me as I usually never get just a cold. Unfortunately straight afterwards I got a nasty cough. All better now though so considering myself lucky this time round.

Blogging
Traffic for September: 122,769 page-views

My previous PB for traffic was last month with 104,150 views in August.
Most of my traffic came from (in order) 1) Organic Search 2) Direct 3) Organic Social. For Social, the top three sources where (in order) 1) Twitter 2) Pinterest 3) Facebook.
This month I continued going through older posts and updating them. Mainly just graphics, some headings (to improve SEO), checking for broken links, etc...
I did a blog audit towards the end of the month and discovered that a lot of my older posts where missing meta descriptions and headers so I spent quite a lot of time this month going through and adding those. Although it was a tedious task, it did actually make me feel good about how far I've come and all the things I've learnt over the years.
I think it's important to take a minute to look back once in a while and note the progress and growth that's been made. I personally find it very motivating to keep going. Onwards and upwards!
I also made sure I scheduled posts in advance both here for the blog and promotional posts on social media.
On 25th September I was the #BlogOfTheDay for @The_WriteReads on Twitter which featured my post 44 Tips For Bloggers.
