11

Top of JC’s Mind is now 11 years old.

I observed my tenth anniversary by finally claiming my own domain as joannecorey.com and with a long, reflective post.

This year’s post is decidedly low-key, in part due to my health issues that are limiting my brainpower and energy.

I’ve also been struggling to deal with complications that occurred when I upgraded my plan to have my own domain last September. The behind-the-scenes wrangling finally got resolved but I really need to choose a theme with newer features so that I can keep the blog’s look while also having my author site pages display with my photo. I really like the clean, easy-on-the-eyes look of my current theme, Twenty Sixteen, but it doesn’t allow me to have a separate look for my blog. Someday, I’ll have the time, brain, and tenacity to get it sorted, but that time isn’t now.

I’m not someone who views their stats very often, but my blogaversary seems a good time. My current all-time views number is 70,855 with 39,647 visitors from 129 countries for 2,013 posts. There are 1,933 subscribers.

Whether you are a regular reader of Top of JC’s Mind or someone who just happened upon this post, I’m grateful that you are here. I want to send a special thank you to my handful of ever-faithful readers and commenters. You know who you are! I appreciate your support over the long haul, especially in the challenging times where my posting has been sporadic and/or mired in a single, all-consuming narrative.

So, on to year 12! Here’s hoping for some better health in the coming year so I can get more writing done.

In gratitude,
Joanne Corey of Top of JC’s Mind

  4. Happy blog-a-versary! I love this blog. It’s such a pleasure to visit for the breadth and range of topics.

    I’m trying to find a web development class that I can take/afford/understand so I can work beyond the template limitations. There are some helpful plug-ins, for things like backgrounds and fonts, but they don’t work in every theme.

    1. Thanks so much for your kind words, Devon! They mean a lot to me.

      I hope you find a course that can help you with working beyond a theme. Given that I don’t have any technical chops to begin with, I’m more likely to see if I can find an existing theme that better meets my needs, now that my blog has morphed into an author site as well. May be something I play with during residency if I have a day with no creative-brain time at all…
