Blogging 'New Years Resolutions' - How to Increase your Blog Traffic - Reasons to Use 'Stumbleupon'

I am amazed I have been blogging for almost a year.  That is a long time to stick at something for someone like me with the attention span of a butterfly.  It enjoy 'the technology of keeping an 'Online Journal/Diary'.  It has just become part of what I do.  I am a little ashamed to say though I am motivated by Blog Traffic.  I would hate to be wittering away to myself.  At the last peep at my 'Flag Counter' I have had visitors from 117 different countries...Belize being the last country to pop over.  That is over half of the countries on the Globe.  I may stop when I have collected them all!  I would like to keep blogging and to keep increasing my traffic.

Where does 'Stumbleupon' fit in to all of this and why use it?
