2019 Year in Review

Looking back on 2019, I'm pleased with the content and progress of this here blog. The purpose of this blog has always been to give additional opportunities for the amazing titleholders who have visited Section 36 to tell the world more about what they do. I think I have done that. The blog has had posts announcing appearances by titleholders. Posts about events hosted by titleholders. Posts about ongoing activities titleholders will be involved in. All of those are my attempts bring more eyes onto the things these titleholders are doing. I'm hopefully that will continue is 2020, and expand. I would love this blog to have a "for titleholders by titleholders" sort of feel. It will be great to get more guest blogs, like the ones Bridget Oei contributed, but take it even further. Posts about pageant experiences, or social impacts, or favorite appearances, or whatever. Anyone who has visited with Section 36 can feel free to take the attempt to write a guest post about the things most important to them. Wouldn't that be great? Look out for those guest blogs coming up in 2020!

What an amazing opportunity to share some really important topics with as many people as possible. Including those who follow Section 36 Pageants on social media. As I hope you're aware, the Section 36 Pageants social media presence is out there, and growing all the time. How? I'm glad you asked!

Instagram is probably the place I’ve seen the most movement in the past year. It’s been great connecting with fans and visitors through that site. I use that account to post any and all pictures that have been submitted by my interview guests. Maybe they were pictures that went along with their interviews, or extras that couldn’t fit with the interview. Or, they’re pictures that have been submitted after visiting. Whatever the case, I post them and use them to remind people of their visit. It’s fun because it adds a lot of different content to the feed. That account also had a big 2019, as it almost doubled its number of followers!

Twitter is still the old standby. It will tweet out links to titleholder interviews. It also passes along tweets/announcements from visitors. That account also went over 1300 followers in 2019, which is fantastic.


Facebook provides fun opportunities. It posts links to titleholder interviews, as well as any pictures former visitors have submitted. It has also started posting pictures of any titleholders with Section 36 gear, whether they’ve visited or not. The number of people who like that page more than doubled in 2019. Hope that trend continues in 2020.

With all those ways to connect with Section 36 Pageants, there should be plenty of ways to share the amazing things my visitors are doing. I can't want to bring that to a much larger scale.

It’ll be a lot of fun.
