Well, almost a year later and the addition of a monthly contest with a cash prize and I can say the results have been less than stellar. In fact I have less the 100 posts during the first year when I had hoped to average 4 per week. It hasn’t been a failure but not the success I had hoped for. Over time I have fizzled on writing, as I feel sometimes it is writing in a vacuum. It seems though that others are taking up the reins somewhat because I do get a few experience submissions every month. Time will tell if this blog can support itself and for now I am content to let it continue to live on. I’m sure some of the shared experiences have comforted others and some of the posts have caused a chuckle here and there. FromMyExperience.com averages about 70 visitors per day and appears to be on the rise I suppose it deserves another chance.

But as I said, keeping up a blog is hard and when the fire of desire turns to embers of apathy it is time to look for motivation elsewhere. And so with that I have started a blog (the easy part) and will be writing on it full time (the hard part) but it has so far been a labor of love and people are helping out with less prodding and it is a fun blog. It is called TopTenz.net and it is a site that features Top 10 Lists.

I invite and encourage everyone to visit and read through the bizarre and funny lists that have already been added. As with this blog, TopTenz.net encourages reader participation. If you have a top ten list to submit, please do. I will provide a link to any site you wish if the list is accepted. So far TopTenz.net is averaging 1,000 visitors per day and the lists are great fun to research and to write.

So while I’ll still be watching this site with great interest and posting every now and then, I will be devoting most of my efforts towards TopTenz.net. That doesn’t mean this site won’t grow, it will as long as people keep posting. Share and submit an experience, you won’t regret it!

We can now announce this month’s contest. You can send entries in today to entries@frommyexperience.com. All contest information is on the From My Experience Contest page. Please review before making your submission. All entries are due by March 19, 2008 to be accepted this month. If you miss the deadline there will another contest next month.

Thanks for all the entries last month and I look forward to reading, sharing and posting your experiences this month!
