    How to change your blog logo easily

    May 18, 2020 /

    What do bloggers do in lock down? I am tempted to say they do what they do all year round putting hours of work into their blogs. I am not convinced blog readers have any idea just how much effort goes into blogs. There are so many decisions to make along the way and so many networks to engage with. If bloggers want to monetize their blogs they really have to up their game in a very competitive marketplace. Commercial brands and public relations companies will only want to work with the quality blogs. It can be challenging to know what to focus on first but one thing that can…

    Top 14 blog post ideas for your book blog

    April 23, 2020 /

    Book Blogging is a great thing to indulge in. You get to read a lot of books, talk books, and spread the word about books. Running a book blog is an exhausting job, unlike your preconceived notions. Just like all other bloggers, book bloggers too run out of ideas. You cannot write reviews all the time because let’s be honest, nobody would then be engaging on your blog. Your audience wants something more than just reviews from you. You can try contemplating and brainstorming on the ideas for your new blog post. Sometimes ideas just will not come. So, how can you maintain the growth of your blog? How can you…

    How to choose a theme for your website

    April 22, 2020 /

    I remember when I first established a blog that I was confused by the terminology. When people talked about themes I thought that must mean the topic you were going to write about. In reality, a theme refers to the look of your website or blog. There are so many choices available when selecting a theme for WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce and HTML5 that you may feel quite overwhelmed. You have so much tech to think about when setting up a website or self-hosted blog. I am going to share some tips on how to choose a theme for your website.

    The internet and social media has brought with it many wonderful things. But one of the worst things it has exposed is what happens when people can hide behind a shield of anonymity.

But now that it has, they have a bigger and better platform. They may be annoying at best and harmful at worst, but there are ways of dealing with the trolls.

    Do you find your blog is taking over your entire life? Do you find yourself staring at the screen when you should be noticing those special moments with your children and loved ones?

    Many bloggers wonder why some of their peers seem to get all the opportunities from public relations companies whilst nobody ever reaches out to them. It can be disheartening when you are putting your heart and soul into your blog. Blogging is not just about writing a post. You have to think how to promote that blog to attract readers perhaps via linkies and social media. You are advised to come up with an attractive Pin to use on Pinterest.

That has changed. As we see the impact of our use of plastic in our oceans and changes to the weather, it is clear something dramatic is going on. It can all seem a bit overwhelming but we can all take steps to be more environmentally friendly. I have always recognised that blogging can be used as a force for change. I am…
