As we move into 2013, we thought it only appropriate to take a look back at 2012 and share with you some of the data from our year in blogging. (If you click on any of the images below, you will get an enlarged view.) Thanks to all of our readers for helping to make the Every Woman Blog a success! And a special thanks to our amazing bloggers who truly bring this blog to life and share their lives with us!
We hope you enjoy taking a look back at 2012 with us 
Meet our winners and soon-to-be Every Woman Bloggers! Our goal was to have eight (8) wonderful women bloggers – selected from the Midlands of South Carolina. We ended up with so many amazing candidates that we couldn’t choose just eight. So we chose ten (10) winners! That’s right, ten winners! Below are their contest submissions for the Every Woman Blog. Make sure to stay tuned for more details so that you can get to know them better. We can’t wait for them to share their lives with all of us. Finally, we’d like to say congratulations to all of the women who entered our contest!

We’ve had some amazing women enter our Every Woman blog contest so far. Today we thought we’d share with you some of their submissions from our Facebook page. As you’ll see, it is going to be very difficult to select the winners. We are fortunate to have such a wealth of candidates to choose from!
A quick reminder – there’s still time for you to enter! The last day to post entries is Friday, July 29. Thus, you have two weeks to submit your entries for a chance to be a blogger!
Make sure to visit our Facebook page to check out the other submissions for the contest!
Welcome to the Every Woman Blog! The only thing we need to get rolling is a few women bloggers from the Midlands region. With that in mind, Lexington Medical Center is sponsoring a contest from June 30th to July 29th to recruit bloggers for its new Every Woman Blog. Women of all ages are invited to enter. Through the contest, the hospital plans to select eight women from our community to be featured as permanent bloggers. Each month, their posts will appear on the EveryWomanBlog.com website. Each selected blogger will receive a $250 cash prize.
“Women thrive on exchanging ideas and connecting with one another,” said Lexington Medical Center Public Relations Manager Jennifer Wilson. “Whether it’s advice on work-life balance, job hunting, movies, shopping or cooking, they love to learn from one another.” Through the Every Woman blog, Lexington Medical Center wants to create an environment where women in the Midlands can learn from and share with one another.
In addition to bloggers chosen in the contest, guest bloggers will also be selected from Lexington Medical Center’s medical staff and employees. With Lexington Medical Center as the sponsor of the blog, readers can expect to find an abundance of helpful health information.
To enter the blogging contest, visit Lexington Medical Center’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LexingtonMedical. Upload a video or post a short written statement on the Wall about why you would be a great blogger to represent and inspire women in the Midlands. Eight women with the most persuasive, funny, touching or engaging posts will be selected to become a featured blogger on the Every Woman Blog.
Each featured blogger will write at least one post per month. The topics will vary greatly, depending on the personalities of the bloggers and their daily experiences in the community. Visitors can expect some of the posts to be videos. The bloggers will also meet in person at “blogger brunches” to share ideas and brainstorm topics.
Lexington Medical Center’s Every Woman Blog will serve as an essential resource for women to share views, experiences and tips. Meantime, men are welcome to read the blog and submit their comments, too!
If you’ve heard about our contest to recruit women bloggers from the Midlands region for the Every Woman blog, you may have asked yourself: “What do I have to blog about?” It’s a good question.
The answer is – your life. The great stuff and the challenges.
We invite you to tell us why you’d make a great woman blogger for the Midlands region of South Carolina. Post your entry on the wall of Lexington Medical Center’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LexingtonMedical. Your submission can either be a written explanation or a video that you upload to the Facebook page. It’s your choice. Just tell us in your own words why you think you would be a great woman blogger. It is as simple as that.
We’re excited to hear from you!
