If y'all don't mind, I could use some input over
here =) I had mentioned
here on only my second post how I had changed my template, background, etc so many times
already. I also questioned how many times does one normally do this? Well I am still finding myself searching for that
Perfect set up for myself
(my blog). Considering I am BRAND NEW to this blogging world I feel a tad bit lost out there. Am I all alone here?? I have found the cutest and some really awesome blogs since I have started blogging and they all have the cutest little "set-ups" for their blogs. So what do you recommend for me? I am interested to see if I get any response, and if I do what it will be.
Oh and speaking of being brand new to blogging....Today I am thankful for
This Blog Hop. Yesterday a friend of mine and fellow blogger
Megan posted a link for a blog hop on my Facebook page. I had never heard of a blog hop before much less participated in one, so I was excited to give it a try. I am thankful Megan thought of me and that I checked it out. I found some really cute blogs that also linked up through this "hop." So today I am thankful for Megan, the blog hop, and for all fellow bloggers! =)
Be sure to click on the links above to check out those cute blogs :)
Have a blessed day and let your life SHINE!!!
Aww you're so sweet! Thanks for being thankful haha I love helping out!
ReplyDeleteOk so let me just tell you, that I literally have "been there" and changed my blogs' background and templete probably 125689652 times! Haha, but really though I totally understand! You want your blog to say "you" and have it look cute and there are sooo many options it's crazy!
One site that I REALLY love is Shabby Blogs http://shabbyblogs.com/?page_id=5 they have all kinds of free backgrounds and buttons and all kinds of stuff! I think you will love it too! ;) Now I made your decision even harder or hopefully easier! haha
My hubby loves to bass fish!! Up here in PA there are not a lot of big ones but we go out to lakes/rivers where on average a nice size bass is about 2 pounds (kinda sad I know). I think our husbands would get along just fine! lol
Anyway, please email me or FB me if you need any help! I know starting up a blog's design can get overwhelming and frustrating, but don't let it get to that!! I'm going to find more blog hops for you to join because we all want more readers, right?! :)
Ps. I'm going to make a post featuring your blog...would you also like to guest post on my blog? I won't charge you anything like some blogs do, maybe in return you can put my button on your sidebar? Think about it, the post can be about anything you want! Recipe, Parenting, spirtual, psychology...anything :) This will gain you more readers as you will have a link back to your blog and if my readers like you and your post they'll follow you! (of course they will like you!)
Email me :) meganlsutliff(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks again Megan! I will check that site out this evening :) It is so nice to know I am not alone...and even better that I have you to help me =)
DeleteIf your hubby loves to fish then yes they would get along great!! I will email you too about the other...PS i added your button! YAY me
Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the wonderful (and sometimes frustrating) world of blogging. Stopping by to visit from a facebook post I saw on one of my blogging groups by Megan S. Was excited to see a fellow Christian and just had to follow your blog. Hope you'll stop by and visit my blog too.....it started out focusing out on deals just for SWVA, but has grown a little beyond that in the past year or so. Are you going to LU online or do you live nearby? Would love to have another fellow blogger so close to where I'm at!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will def. check you out and follow you back! I am going to LU online but I have been to visit...and hope to go back for another soon =) I live a few hours away. I think it was a 3 hour drive (aprox.)
DeleteHello, I'm James a Daddy blogger from the UK. I saw a post from Megan @ Housewife on a mission and thought I'd pop over and give a little support to a new blogger and introduce myself. See I'm just out of the bracket (New Blogger) I guess you could call me a shaky blogger, just about found my feet and have a clearer picture on what direction I want my blog to take. I'm learning different things everyday, if you are ever unsure on things just Google it and you'll find a host of blogs with tutorials on how to do bloggy things :-)Any way you have Megan she seems to be giving you great guidance so i'll leave the intro there looking forward to watching your blog grow :-)
ReplyDeleteBe sure to check me out at http://charliesandharrysdaddy.blogspot.co.uk/
Thank you! I will follow you back!! Its nice to know I am not all alone in the learning thing.
DeleteFound you from Housewife on a mission. You WILL change your background hundreds of times. I still do :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Glad to know I am not alone...and it's ok I will change it HA. I am now following you too :) (love the wreath)
DeleteYAY!! Welcome!!I am fairly new. I finally just found someone to design me a blog because I wasn't so good at it! New follower here.
ReplyDeletehttp://itsthelittlethings-ash.blogspot.com/
YAY!! I am excited! I am now following you too =) I think we are going to get along great from what I read so far!!
DeleteOh so who did you get to do your blog?
Shannon Rooks--I just happened to stumble upon her and I emailed her and within a couple hours she responded to me and the next morning she was working on my blog! I had tried SO many things and just wasn't ever satisfied so, I decided that I would just pay someone. I didn't want to spend $200.00 but, I was ok with spending a little. Here is her design page link: http://itsthelittlethings-ash.blogspot.com/ and here is her blog link http://www.pagetwenty-two.blogspot.com/. I just happened to return to your page to see your reply. I can't figure out how to to know when someone replies to a comment that I post on THEIR page. YIKES!! I feel dumb!! We will get the hang of this eventually!! ha :)
DeleteOk thanks! And I do not how how to know when some replies either on their blog...Maybe someone will read this and tell us!! If I find out I will email you and let you know :)
DeleteI am excited for us to learn this blogging stuff together :)
DeleteYay for blog hops! I noticed that you joined my Link & Mingle today as well! :) I would love for you to host or co-host that with me, if you would like! That would be a great way to gain new followers and meet other bloggers! Let me know, and we can set you right up! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that you say "Have a blessed day". I say that a lot too, and haven't really seen it much. Way to spread the blessings! :)
Shaylee Ann | Mother {at} Heart
YAY Shaylee!! Yes I loved that hop too =) And yes, can you send me some more information on doing that? I am interested but since today was only my second hop I don't really know much ha But it sounds great and I am very interested! Thanks again!!
DeleteHave a blessed day =) I always say that or Be the Sunshine =)
This is a test... Haha! I'm happy to have someone testing all this stuff out with me! It's so simple--I just don't know where to click what! :) This is like a new gadget or something!
ReplyDeleteHa..testing one two ;) I also sent you a reply via email.
