But since then I found out more about what I think looks good and I've found new ways of doing things. I just love to learn something new; and because my most clicked on link ever was this one about bloggers block I'm guessing that you do too. So I've gathered up some of my favourite links and tips on blogging and I'm posting them today for (I hope) your blogging pleasure:
- The link that got me started thinking about this post (and I have Cate to thank for it) is Marta Writes. If you only pick one place to go, go here! Last week she did a blogging workshop with plenty of tips and thoughts right there on her blog. It's an excellent read.
- Another great link from a new blogging friend of mine Carmen: Blogger Buster. Lots of technical help here. It's easy to follow, too.
- Fresh Blog Tips Love this one.
- Blog Herald I like his thoughts on recognising your own blogging achievements
- Copy Blogger Blogging lessons from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? That's hard to resist
- Thou Shall Blog
- Top Ten Blog Tips Watch out! You could spend all day in here
- Blog Writing Course
- Tricks For New Bloggers
and a few other useful bits:
- Web2pdf I haven't tried this way of making your pages printable, but it sounds good.
- Photography tips at Digital Photography School
- Blog Challenge running this month at Get It Scrapped
- This book would be a nice treat Kirtsy Takes a Bow
- And finally, the ultimate bloggers Look Book Artful Blogging by Stampington Just gorgeous.
So, that's it for now. I'm going to keep on collecting and, if you like, I'll do another roundup of favourites soon. Let me know if you see anything great!
Wow, these all look amazing and interesting and helpful - thank you :-) I have no useful links, sorry.... I just make it up as I go along! Does it show?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGoing to need to go make a cuppa and have a read through these I reckon :) Thanks Sian and for making me go 'ooooh, meeee!' at seeing my name in your post! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list Sian! My first click was for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo link, but too many spoilers for the movie - so I'll go back to it later.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite change you've made is your picture - I love the current one.
Working on my blog is on my list of things to do (but since it's below all my art projects, I haven't gotten to it yet). I really need to tag/organize my posts and update my blogs I love list.

I think my blogger's block is reading everybody else's blog and having no time to do anything. These look like wonderful links, to be read while the family watches TV, definitely starting with martawrites. It's amazing where not being able to click your fingers leads.
ReplyDeletewow u have found some amazing things sian. if i add anything else to my blog following list i'll never catch up!!!!! glad the small one liked the comment about the dolls. i thought they were fab and i'm the children who receive them in haiti will treasure them forever. i saw a little girl on the news the other day who is over here having medical treatment for a severe skull and bone infection, maybe she could make another one for her?

What a wonderful list! I've bookmarked it so I can browse. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Artful Blogging for a while. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Blogging Bliss.
ReplyDeleteOh! These are great links. I think I used two of these to start the remodel on my blog too. I go back an forth between clean and modern like your blog and crammed full of scrappy things. Dualing personalities I guess!
ReplyDeleteLaura :)
