I am fairly new to the blogging world. I have had my blog for years, but just started using it less than a year ago. I figured the same people got sick of all of my stories about how awesome my daughter is, yet still needed to share her awesomeness with people.
The tip I would give to new bloggers is to just have fun with it. Blogging should be fun. You don’t have to know everything right away. I still feel like I am constantly learning new things every single day about blogging. I read a lot of blogs, and just kept in mind the things that I wanted to do on my blog that were similar to what I saw. Ask questions of other bloggers, they are generally willing to point you in the right direction. There are a lot of free resources out there on the internet, so google can be your best friend! There are also lots of how to articles written by other bloggers with the purpose of helping you out! Someday, I hope to write a few of these myself.
I recently (like yesterday) figured out how to change the look of my blog. I am so excited about it. I am not done yet, but I am working on it, so look for more changes coming up.
Are you a blogger? What advice would you give to new bloggers? And…what do you think of my new look so far?
I love the background!! I think the blue on blue may be a little rough for some readers, but the color scheme is nice! And I love your button. It’s adorable! 🙂
I’m glad to be doing the summer challenge with you. 🙂
Thank you! i am debating whether to change my button or not since now there are two. I was wondering about the color scheme. It is okay for me but I was wondering what other people thought of it. Did it take long to load at all?
I also am having trouble with the blue on blue. But the background is pretty.
Thanks! i changed it to a darker blue. I think that helps.
Good advice. I just started blogging in January and still feel so far behind the eight ball! Thanks, I found you on the Mom blog hop
Thanks for stopping by! It takes time to learn things, but even after many years, there will still be more to learn.
I like the design of your blog! The flowers in the background are very pretty.
Thank you! i haven’t figured out yet if I LOVE it or not, but I definitely like it better.
I do like the look of your blog! I had visited you enough previously that I noticed the change right away! I’m a fan of whimsical drawings, so it just sort of fits that I like it!
I am a new blogger (as in the last month or so). It is a learning experience to try and set it all up. (I still have no idea how to make that little tool bar with links to your Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.)
I sort of wish the summer blog challenge were starting in the Fall so I could blog along!
Thanks Sara! I want to come up with something different for my follow me links,
I think we will have to start a blog challenge for the fall. It is a lot of fun!
