Can't You Read My Mind?

I know you can't read my mind, hence, the subject of today's Blog.

It occurred to me (as I check the stats of my daily blog readers) that I would like to take an opportunity to say a few things I may have neglected to mention.

First off, last week was amazing. Friday I was blessed to find an article about myself and PortOrchardLiving.org on page 8 of the Port Orchard Independent newspaper. In past endeavors, I've been mentioned a few times in newspapers, but to be featured on a page was awesome!!! Thank you Danny Oliveaux (Editor of the POI)!!!

Second, the website I created is a work in progress. I've been working on adding more businesses everyday and I've got some ideas for some new features in the future too. I want to spend the time building it correctly so that I can optimize search engines and truly be an asset to Port Orchard by providing information that search engines pick up. Basically, please bare with me- if you don't see something you're looking for, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Thirdly, My sincere goal with the PortOrchardLiving.org website, the Port Orchard Living facebook page and everything else I do here is to promote Port Orchard. I really love this place and want to be a part of its economic success. You may ask why I feel I am capable of this.... It's not that I am capable of creating economic success for Port Orchard- it's that I have the tools of knowledge to create an information system that will (hopefully) create more search engine traffic that draws attention to Port Orchard. I'm really passionate about what I am doing, so I hope the fire I have within me will ignite an interest in others as well.

On other notes, I am thrilled with the traffic on the site so far. In less than 2 weeks since it went 'live' there have been more than five hundred visitors each week, with a spike after the newspaper article last week. Facebook is collecting 'LIKES' as well- we have an official page now: facebook.com/portorchardliving.

I feel really, really excited and blessed by this!! Thank you for reading and I hope you'll be back!
