Congratulations to Weezie Foye, the first winner in a year-long monthly contest for followers who comment on blog posts! Weezie has won an 8" round 2-layer cake, and she will collect on her winnings when she's back in Saratoga Springs over the summer. This first drawing proved to be quite a success. My motives are somewhat selfish -- I'm trying to increase the number of followers as well as comments on my blog posts. We're off to a good start, so I am very encouraged. It's very much a goal to increase readership and to have Adirondack Baker experience a wider audience. Currently, new posts are linked to my facebook page, and occasionally "tweeted" (though I am not yet very Twitter-saavy). It's almost three years since this blog was born, and my feeling is that ADK Baker is ready for a growth spurt. I'm researching some more sophisticated Web designs in an effort to have a more polished blog presence, but at the same time don't want to lose that "homespun" quality that appeals to many of this blog's followers.
Thank you to all those who come back now and then to see what's new. I so appreciate the time you take out of your day to read the posts. It's an honor to write for you, and I hope you continue to enjoy reading Adirondack Baker!
I'll close with some recent photos, just because I know you enjoy them!
All the best, and Happy May Day!
