Blog News:
This month I decided to change the look of the blog. This new layout is darker than I would like but I'm learning to love it. I'm going to work on creating a new blog badge & signature soon to go with the new look. I also decided to buy my own domain name! I'm excited because I got a great deal, only $1 for the first year and $8 each year afterwards. I'm moving on up in the blog world.
I joined a new book site called Riffle. It's pretty interesting so far, we'll see how I feel about it in the future. I also decided to start using Google+ a few days ago so hopefully more people will see my blog now. I also gained 2 new followers through GFC, 65 through FeedBurner, 27 on Twitter, had over 1,000 pageviews & was added to 2 circles on Google+
Hopefully February is even better!

July Wrap-Up

July has been an interesting month for me. I changed my blog from Novel utopia to Avanti's Place and in the process I gained a few new followers on here and on my twitter page. Last month I started a journey to one million pages and this month I started a count of how much money I save by getting free kindle books. I've also started two new memes and joined one other. So here's my progress for this month.
