Ok, so I may be all alone in this, but I like people's blogs to be neat and tidy. That being said, try labeling your posts. If I see a Christmas card that you made, and wonder what else you have done, I would love to just be able to click on the label "Christmas" and see those things. Instead, since you don't label your posts, I have to scroll through crap, crap, and more crap, to find another card. By that point, I'm pissed, annoyed with your children, think you can't cook, and so tired of your stupid music, that I'm gone.
So, label your posts, but don't give everything 15 labels, no one wants to scroll through a label list of 100+ topics that only have 1 post in them. Try stuff like cards, scrapbooking, specific stamp companies, recipes, personal, children, etc.
And personally, on my own blog, I've noticed that people use those labels a lot. I will check my Feedburner stats and people have clicked on the labels a ton. Try it, you'll have happier readers.

To be honest, I am just too lazy to learn how to do this.
stupid question on my part-If I go thru and label each post (I am using old blogger and am not quite sure how to do this anyways) wont it send thru each post again to those who subscribe or use Reader? Last week I had one blog I get send over 250 posts thru and I think she labeled and they were read as new postings. I have wanted to label but dont want to clog inboxes either.
Just a note: Your site meter is not working. I refreshed a half dozen times and it never moved once.
Site meters are usually set to record new visitors within a certain amount of time. I set my blog to record new contacts within an hour. This is probably set the same. Some are set to each new page load or other criteria.
ARRRRRGGGGGGG! I decided to label my lesser blog as it didnt have as many posts, and any that had videos, when I posted them again, the video codes were deleted!! Some I can find on You Tube but others are gone forever as I have no clue where I snagged them from or what the original names of them were. booooo hoooooo. dang.
But some of my stuff on Eyeballs---now labeled.
I don't label mine and the people who read it don't care. Neither do I.

Thanks! Site meter does not count a refresh as a visit. Thus giving the owner an actual count of visitors, and not cheap thrills. Thanks for checking though.
It only counts each different IP address, not how many times YOUR ip address visits the site.
Now, stop bitching and go tell your friends to come and bitch so the counter will move.
