I’ve been sleeping a lot better lately, but I’m overwhelmingly tired all the time. I start this post off with that fact mostly because I’m pretty sure the rest of it is going to be incoherent babbling. I haven’t had much motivation to do anything the past few days. Having people around means that it’s pretty obvious if you don’t get out of bed until never or if when you do get out of bed the only thing you manage…
This will be my last post of the little intro blogging series. I don’t feel like there’s much more to talk about, and plus no one actually came down from the heavens and gave me the blogging goddess crown… still waiting for that one. 😉 I could keep this post super short, because the best way to get traffic to your blog is very simple. Write good content that people want to read. I’m dead serious. You can spend all the advertising…
I’m running out of ideas for our blogging series. So far we’ve covered getting started, layout and SEO. Today I’m taking a stab at the most important, but also the most personal part of blogging – your content. A blog’s content is what makes it unique, and I’m certainly never going to tell someone what they should or shouldn’t blog about. That is your decision as a writer and content creator. I mean… think about all the different blogs you…
I’m trying to do this blogging series in the order that a new blogger would have to consider. Part I was about getting started and choosing a blogging platform. Part II was all about layout, but today’s Part III is unique in it’s something that both new bloggers should think about before they start and current bloggers can benefit from. SEO stands for search engine optimization, otherwise known as how high your blog ranks on Google. If you do not care about…
In this blogging series, I’m sharing my knowledge as best I can about the world of equestrian blogging. Last week, we talked about the reasons to blog and picking a blogging platform. This week we’re going to tackle my favorite part of blog design – layout! This is an area where I have a little bit more professional knowledge than some others. My professional career started out with web design, and I do a lot of UI layout these days….
This is going to be one of those topics where the comments are more interesting than the post, at least that’s my prediction. Carly from Poor Woman Showing wrote a post this week that made me do a fist pump. If you haven’t read it, you should. Basically it’s a “don’t tell me how to live my life yo” post, which I can certainly appreciate as a person who has been told how to live her life through blog feedback….
When Jen and I originally talked schedule for the bloggers weekend, we ended up with February because horse showing really starts full force here in March. She warned me that Texas winter can be unpredictable in February, and I said something like “Lolz u crazy this is Texas it’ll be 60.” Therefore, we had freezing rain for Friday & Saturday. That was lucky though… Dallas had 4″ of snow which left poor Andrea snowed in. Even with the freezing weather,…
It’s here! It’s here! I’m taking a half day at work today, and then commencing fun (and cooking) for tonight’s festivities. So excited to meet some new bloggers face to face, and overall have a fun weekend geeking out with horse friends. I may or may not have bought My Little Pony napkins. If you weren’t able to make it, know that you are missed. I hope this can become a yearly thing and perhaps be hosted by different people,…
