Pro Tip: Advice To Newbie Bloggers

To those who are beginning their blogs or new to blogging I salute you for being awesome in joining the blogging community. Here are 3 tips to make blogging fun and to help you post more regularly.

  1. Write short posts. No more than 3 paragraphs with 3-4 sentences each. Make it on something you are interested in or how your day is going. Some folks will do a poem or other type of post. Remember the attention span of most people is short so brevity is important.
  2. Post pictures. Its an easy way to get a post up with visual impact. Add a paragraph supporting what the picture is about and why it means something to you. You can also use pictures in your short posts.
  3. Post videos. You can embed YouTube videos in your posts which can support the overall theme of your blog. It also makes your blog more multimedia which is always fun.

I encourage every blogger to “Keep on Blogging”. Make this journey fun and connect with other bloggers for more ideas as you go along.

Farewell To Fellow Bloggers

When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.

My Posts Of Late

My blog recently has taken on a more visual look to it. I have posted more pictures and YouTube videos. Compared to other bloggers I am not a very strong writer, although I get by I think. Sometimes you run dry on things to write about so you post other media that can tell your story or to advance your point of view. Posting daily helps keep your audience engaged which is a good thing. However there is a struggle to produce content and that can discourage some from even blogging at all.

Perhaps it’s time to do more writing, WordPress is filled with great writers and maybe I could be that someday. Words are important too you know.

Back To Twenty Fourteen

keep-calm-and-read-my-blog-39No this is not a post taking us back to 2014 which was a good year but I went back to the theme Twenty Fourteen that I have used before. I liked the previous theme I used recently but I found that when people visit they might not know to click more to read the full article. I also want them to see a posts images straight away. Twenty Fourteen has 3 columns which give it some flexibility too. No matter what theme I am using I appreciate your visits to my blog. You my fellow bloggers are swell people!

Six Word Story

Blogging is more fun than Facebook.

My Blog Will Not Have A Winter/Spring Finale

Our favorite TV shows are going through their Fall/Winter finales. However I won’t be following along with my blog here. Nope, I will not be taking a break from my blog during the holidays. My friends I will be right here sharing what’s on my heart and in my head. Read at your own risk. I would appreciate a boost in the ratings though.
