Basics of blogging

Posted on Apr 3, 2008 | 1 comment

I really like blogging. It is some type of wonderful outlet for someone like me. I am on medication for social anxiety and depression. So blogging is my little way of “communicating” with the world. I only started faithfully blogging around October or November of last year. I figured it would be a great way to make money. Yep, I was gonna get rich off the internet. Well, that did not happen. Go figure, I am not a millionaire with my own little island and 4 nannies. But I have totally embraced parenting blogs and all that they offer. However, I am still a “newbie” when it come to blogging and I am learning new things every day. While I was on Blogengage, I came across this post, 52 easy ways to optimize your blog while on your coffee break. I wish I would have read this when I first started blogging. I made a lot of the common mistakes on this list. Especially going widget crazy, my blog was full of them. I don’t know, but it is something about those widgets, they are so pretty and fun. Bloggers, newbies and vets might want to give this article a quick look, you might find something interesting.

Oh, and since I brought up Blogengage, I have gotta say this is another one of my favs. When I read a really good post, I like to go and submit it to Blogengage. It’s my own little way of giving those bloggers a pat on the back. It actually is a fun site, but then I am slowing falling in love with all things “bloggy”
