A Bit of Better Blogging - Part Seven

I'm tying up loose ends


on several projects this week. So I've put together my latest collection of better blogging finds for today. I hope you see something of interest:

  1. Pinterest - Good or bad for bloggers? This is a must-read. It's persuasive, it's heartfelt and I couldn't agree more. If you love Pinterest, read this! By Darcy of Life With my 3 Boybarians
  2. Clean Slate Blogging by Judy of Cats Eye Writer. There is always somethng to think about here. I also enjoyed her Harry Potter Headlines.
  3. Blog Posts that Start Life as Something Different - using comments to create content. By Sarah Arrow at For Bloggers by Bloggers
  4. Keeping up with the New Facebook by Paint The Moon. Tips for setting up a fan page. I need to have another look at this one myself!
  5. Also, How to Get More Likes on Facebook by How To Make My Blog.
  6. And finally, I had to include an older one I like Ten Most Overused Words on Craft Blogs from Crafterminds (thanks Sue for recommending this site!)
Have a browse and think about blogging goals for 2012. Or maybe you've done that already?

    I need all the help I can get to become a better blogger in 2012. I think consistency is my main aim for this year, but there is always room to add a few more goals. I'll be checking your links out later Sian, as they're sure to be good ones:o)

    Great articles! I finally took the plunge and created a Facebook Page for my blog, so we'll see how that goes. Love the Crafterminds article. Those aren't words I overuse, but I do need to work on commenting a little more creatively.

    Just had a read through them all. The Pinterest one is interesting indeed. Have seen pins with really long spiel, didn't realise they were direct lifts! Naughty!

    Great links, and the last one made me laugh (guilty as charged!).
    I think being inspired by something (anything) makes for the bests posts, although putting in time on the writing of it helps a lot, too.

    I've enjoyed browsing your interesting selection, Sian - though I find myself in disagreement with some of no.6. Perhaps I ought to write a blog post on it! Good luck with finishing up your creative projects.
