Happy One Year Anniversary for BMC!!
Uwah~ Time goes by so fast, doesn’t it? Anyways, today is the one year anniversary for BMC! I wish I had been more prepared, but this vacation was a lot busier than I thought. ^^; Anyways, I am pretty stumped on what to write because a bunch of things are coming to my mind at once and I really don’t know how to put it all down–at least, cleanly. xDD
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY!! :DD
I was hoping to change the theme, but I can’t DL it atm. >_> So all theme changes and header changes are postponed atm. TT^TT And then, I had this drawing for this blog, but it…TT^TT disappeared. *goes to emo corner*
Yay! It works!~ I’ve finally gotten the theme changed. More details later in the post.
Random Ramble:
Well I guess BMC didn’t really start out as much, not that it ended up being that big, either, haha. But it does bring out a lot of fun. To be honest, not for the modesty but honestly, I didn’t think I’d be able to make it this far. There were tons of times I thought I should just give up, but I honestly didn’t want to. I wanted to at least last for one year. xDD And now that one year has passed I want to still keep going. It probably won’t be that long though, but I’ll try my best!! I can’t believe though that I was going to end up having people read some of my posts, which makes me super happy, because it feels like I’m not talking to myself. xD And with my short attention span….>_> Yup…I actually made it. :’D
Thank You’s:
To start it off, I want to thank EVERYBODY, readers, subscribers, commenter, people who put me on their blogrolls, random people, etc. Without you guys I would’ve given up the first day. Let’s see, now for specifics, and btw, I’m a very, very corny person. :D
Thank you….
FuyuMaiden for pretty much inspiring me to start a blog. I’ve read your blog since it first opened on WordPress (but only as a lurker until later) and you are just an amazing blogger. :D
warriorhope for my first real commenter (as in, big time commenter? or…commenter with a blog? xD Hard to explain) . Seeing your comment encouraged me to continue. :3
Xiao for being my first regular commenter, and being such an awesome, nice, encouraging, commenter. When I read your comments I always smile. :D
kanzie for being simply fierce and having an awesome blog! XDD And thank you for encouraging me to continue in graphics~
Rin for being such an awesome, regular commenter. Even when no one else comments, and I even think there’s nothing to comment about, I see your comments there and you’re almost always first! XD
7 for being such a helpful person, especially when I feel like I’m so stupid, you still help me out. Thank you for helping me with my blog and with coding!
And, thank you lea-chan (we must talk about k-pop one day XD), Kitari, Ryan A. (especially for forming Melative and helping me out so much around it), kiseki, lostty, Azura, and animehalf. I’m sorry if I forgot anybody else, I’m getting distracted.
Stats
Oh no, it’s the…stats part. ._.” I’m ashamed of my stats. I’ll say it straight out right now. My blog isn’t popular, I barely have anything. I’ve moved around so much though that my stats are getting lower, and lower…and lower…Anyways!! My blog isn’t that interesting, so it’s not popular, so it makes sense. ^^ Then again, my current blog has a chunk missing out of my stats due to forgetting to install the counter. o_O Anyways, from around 5 yesterday, my total hits from all my blogs were…56,035! Yup, that’s…lame. ._.” The majority are from my wordpress.com blog. It had around 49,000. XD It’s doing better than my current one even if it hasn’t been updated at all. It still gets regular views. XD I still haven’t done many posts on this blog and haven’t done a regular series in awhile so, that’s probably why.
I’ll get some stat info from wordpress.com and from this one. I’ll be ignoring the freecp.net one. XD So wordpress.com will be abbreviated as WP.com, and this one will be SH (Self host XD). Because I’m lazy like that.

I’m not surprised, lol. I started this blog mainly for shugo chara, so I’m not surprised that it’s number one. Since my WP.com one has mostly…Shugo Chara posts, all of it’s terms are of…Shugo Chara.
The thing that makes me happy is that my current one isn’t all Shugo Chara. There’s a lot for Yumeiro Patissiere though, haha. I only did one post and it wasn’t even focusing completely on it. And I’m surprised that “anime girl listening to music” is a top term. O_o

Starting off with the WP.com. More…Shugo Chara. XD First blog is Simplicity, so thank you FuyuMaiden! :D Oh, and third was the news article. I forgot to celebrate it BB. Awhile back my Anime Expo post got referred to from a Japanese news article. I was seriously ecstatic, watching live how much it promoted my blog, haha. But anyways, yup. So…yeah. :D
And my self hosted blog, WordPress Dashboard. >_> Is that me? I thought my views weren’t counted, so I guess a dashboard, haha. And anime nano, I’m not surprised about that, haha. Yup…

LOL. Shugo Chara posts completely filled my WP.com one. XDD Don’t you love the differences?

Well that’s all for stats. :D I’m such a pathetic blogger, lawl.
Future Plans
I’m not so sure about future plans yet. I hope to well, post more. I just need to find time and a series that I’ll have stuff to say about. I’m just so busy at the moment it’s hard. I have a ton of posts in my drafts, but they’re all outdated. I was contemplating if I should start fresh short posts instead of medium ones, but I’ll only do it once I get a three column theme. It sounds funny, but I also plan on that as well. It’ll be better if I post shorter posts with a three column blog to me because I hate having extra sidebar leftover. D:< I’m also wondering if I should bring my friend along to blog with me since I don’t get to update much and I have friends who enjoy anime/manga, but that’s also unlikely since I haven’t asked and they don’t seem the blogging type? XD
More Blossom Blabber is hopefully in the future. However, I’m wondering if I should just break up Blossom Blabber into each of their own posts. I’ll be doing a drama one soon, but that’s just temporary. Otherwise, like music, manga, dramas…I’m still unsure though. Feedback would be helpful. ^^ Let’s see. Hopefully more News will coming back, and I really hope to bring back Monthly Mania. I stopped before because I was bored with typing it (you should’ve watched me try to type out the last one) and couldn’t think of much, but I hope to bring it back once I get series.
All in all, I plan on more posts–more manga reviews, more video game (I never really had an individual video game post even though I had planned on doing so when I first started) stuff, random youtube videos, and more music things because I’ve been into lots of music recently. However, school is back and I might be slowed down thanks to that. So busy @AAA@ it’s not fair….TT^TT Overall, I have no idea what’s in the future atm. ._.”
Theme Change
And for a hopefully small amount of time, I’ll be changing the theme in celebration of the anniversary. The theme is called unwakeable. Why did I choose this theme? Well, when Iwas looking for new themes, I happen to pass by this theme. It happens to combine the two themes unsleepable and k2. Coincidentially, those were my first two themes. ^^ So I thought it would be the most suitable theme to change to. Going back to the past theme. It won’t stay very long because I like my custom headers, but with school and everything, I’ll try to squeeze it in there sometime or another.

That’s it for now I guess~ I wanted to add more, but I guess I could add it later because I can’t do much, and I’m getting ready for school. So if necessary, more anniversary stuff might be added later. But again, thank you everyone and let’s hope for the best ahead!







Aw thanks.
Also, congrats on 1 year! Many bloggers don’t make it that far
As for your posts. Definitely make use of categories and tags. Categorizing by Anime/Manga/Drama/Music is a good idea, so having separate, but smaller, posts is the way to go. Sometimes really long posts are deterring, and might be skipped, esp. if it contains a big mixture of mediums. So even if someone doesn’t read the Music posts, but reads the Anime ones, they will appreciate them being separate.
You also have more items to read that way
Cheers, keep it up!

Congrats on the year, blossom~! YAY~! *clapsclapsclaps* XDDD
Ugh, it really sucks when the themes don’t work for you. I went looking for one today and it was gone. D/
Aww, thank you for the honorable mention and you’re very welcome, hun. I’m glad my crazy comments make you smile, lol.
And wut? 56,035 views is not lame, silly. You got that much and you’re still going so it’s something worth patting yourself on the back for. And if you won’t do it, I will (HARD).
Plus, you can always cheat with your WP hits, hahaha. 8D;Heh, you and me both on the SC! train that kinda derailed somewhere around the end of Doki! :P
As for your future plans, I’ll be looking forward to them as always. On the Blossom Blabber, it’s really up to you. Personally, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to separate them into categories. I, for one, know it’s a lot easier to read shorter posts but can’t really write them myself cuz it’s just easier to get all the things I want to say in one post and be goddamn done with it. lol
Well, yep. Do your best but don’t stress out too much. Especially since you’re back in school already. Break has been too short as always, huh? ^^;
And don’t worry about it. I’m sure you’ll able to squeeze in something awesome when you can.
Congrats again and best of luck in the new years! :D

I’m a tadbit late but congratulations on your 1 year anniversary and even more so when you have a short-attention span like me!
And what a cool new theme you have. It’s simple but at the same time it isn’t.
As for your future blogging endeavors, I wish you the best of luck. Especially with coblogging. Blogging’s always more fun when you have someone to work with.
And you’re welcome! I really didn’t help you with much. Anyone else could’ve taught you all that. But feel free to ask me whenever you need some coding ^_^.
