My First Year of ‘Blogging’

It has been a year of blogging for me. I want to thank my family for their help, support, and the use of their precious Kodak moments. My editors are my daughter Bethany and her husband Larry-thank you so much for your guidance. Then there is Stella, the young starlet whose picture and antics frequent these pages.

So how has this year shaped-up?

There are 36 posts-what appears on the home page (reviews, stories, comments) and there are 11 pages. Of course the home page will grow as hot topics in the world of allergy appear. I still need to create pages dealing with more of the clinical conditions we see in the allergy clinic- look for anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis, recurrent infection, drug allergy, and stinging insect allergy. I also want to post a page on ‘non-allergy’ .

The site has an analytical program attached that keeps tract of a visit to the site. Over the past year ‘Leickly Stories’ has had 3,500 visits from 69 countries. Two-thirds of those visits are new.

I also want to thank my 4 subscribers- apparently there are four people who receive a notice that this site has an update to share. To become a subcriber just click on that curly logo in the upper right corner of the home page. It is an RSS feed for the site.

Hopefully, I can start collecting allergy experiences from children/families that I see in my practice to share with others. The world of allergy can be scary. For those who are new to it, hearing how others have dealt with the problems helps establish a confidence and comfort level. It also lets people and children know that they are not alone in this struggle.
