Thanks Brenda as always for your fabulous Friendship Friday posts - these are great tips!
ReplyDeleteWill pass them along on Twitter as well.
Have a great weekend! :-)
This was a great prompt Ramona... it was fun
DeleteP.S. Oooh - I see you added Linky Followers! Will follow you there shortly (my computer is protesting because I have 18 windows open at the moment - yes, I am THAT kind of blogger - lol!)
ReplyDeletelol...
DeleteLove your blogging tips!! :) All very true. Have fun with it for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no point in doing something like this if it isn't fun!
DeleteI like your tips, Brenda. I'm the worse about responding to comments; I admire you guys that do. But I agree with when you follow a blog, follow it, get to know the person. My only other tip I would add is read the post and leave a comment relative to it. I don't like "fly by" comments when someone will say "have a great weekend" without commenting on anything with what I write; I wonder if they are just passing by on to the next one and didn't even glance at what I write. I'd rather have no comment from someone than one that I call "fly by". Know what I mean?
ReplyDeletebetty
so true... what is up with that anyway???
DeleteThose were great tips, I started my blog just as a way to get in the habit of writing... anything ....daily and then like you say I got into it and it became a very rewarding fun experience now I am addicted & actually more productive. I am still learning so much myself that I have no idea what to add to the tips so i am glad you posted so well!! :))
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much there is to learn about ourselves... making friends was just an added bonus.. don't you think?
DeleteSo sorry you are in a blogging slump...you are doing the right thing by stepping away if you need to...I have missed chatting with you!
ReplyDeleteI miss our chats too... but we can always email each other....
Deletehope you're enjoying your vacation
Great tips! I don't reply to every comment but I do try to visit everyone who comments and leave a comment on their post. I do love it when people reply to my comments - I should make a conscious effort to do that!
ReplyDeleteI'm not even sure if people read my responses... but it makes me feel more like we're having a conversation.
DeleteCongrats Brenda - you've been featured on the Independence Day edition of Friendship Friday at Create With Joy! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona!
DeleteI totally agree with your 10 blogging tips. I'm now following you via GFC and Twitter. I blog because I love to write and communicate with others. I have 5 original blogs (the content is all original) and the 5th blog I share with hubby, where he spends more of his time than I (only because I'm too busy!).
