Blogging can be really time consuming. There are link parties to join, comments to write, emails to answer, reviews to write, posts that need written, surveys that need filled out, and many more things that can demand the time of a blogger.

This is my 101th post! Woohoo! I figured a good post for my number 101 would be one to help other bloggers to make their blog a little bit better. I am pretty sure that doing this one simple thing has helped my blog more than any other one thing I could do. In life, you hear all the time the phrase “first impressions are everything”. When it comes blogging,...

In the blogging world, links that direct people to your site are like gold. They mean more visitors, which means more followers, more comments, more tweets, and for some, more money. It is nice to know when other bloggers link back to you, and it’s fun to see your blog’s popularity grow. By using Webmaster Tools, there is a very simple way to see how many links are out there in the wide web that bring people to your site. First, you need a Webmaster Tools account. Since it is run by Google, if you have a Google account, you’re...

   I’m excited to announce that I was nominated for the Liebster Award.  What is the Liebster Award? I asked myself that same question when I found out that Kimberly at twinklingtrees.com had nominated me. After reading her post and doing a little research, this is what I have discovered:  The Liebster Award is one that bloggers give to other bloggers. Anyone who is nominated must have less than 300 followers.  When you receive the award, you are to post an “acceptance” post. That post will have 11 random...

Hey my awesome readers! I have the opportunity to participate as a co-host in a blog hop! This one is hosted by Meg at Happy Kids, Inc. Basically, a blog hop is a place where bloggers can go and add their blog for other bloggers to see. They are a fun way to get your own blog out there and to meet other bloggers. If I get a good response from this blog hop, I may start doing them more often. Let me know what you think about it and if you think I should/shouldn’t do them in the future. Enjoy! Here we are, week 10…..and what...

Disclaimer: I know that I call this “career” blogging. I am no where near a career level at this point nor do I intend to be. Blogging for me is a hobby, but I do want to create a successful blog, one where my mother isn’t the only reader (but thank’s for being here, mom ) I am writing this post exactly one week after I started my blog. I don’t know when I will publish it, but I wanted this information to be fresh in my mind. I hope that it can help someone else that is hoping to start a blog sometime...
