Blogging Tips #1

Well, it's a crazy weather day here in Ohio.  I don't think mother nature knows what season it is!  Today it is 35 degrees F and it is spitting snow.  We have only had one snow this year with any accumulation and only about a week of really cold weather.  This is very odd.

Anyway, my focus is still working on my woman cave/craft area.  I am making progress, believe it or not.  My husband is finishing up the wiring this weekend.  I am hoping to plaster holes and paint.  I've chosen my colors but it's a surprise!  You'll see soon enough!

The two big projects that I have completed are my



Since it's a wonderful Saturday where I will be busy painting and such, I thought I'd share a couple of links with you that have great blogging tips.  I'm new at blogging and so I greatly appreciate any assistance I can get.

This first link is one I found when I linked up to a wonderful linking party.  The blog is .http://stardust-decorstyle.blogspot.com and the specific post is


The second source of information is from a blog I follow, http://blissfulanddomestic.blogspot.com.  Danielle had a whole series full of information on how to set up your blog and make it your own.  Check out these links!


How to Revamp Your Tab Section

Just saw this post from another blog I follow, http://romanceonadime.com.  These items don't affect me, I'm way too new to the blogging world. Perhaps this may be of interest to all of you who are more wordly or "blogly" then me.
Alternatives to Picnik and Google Friends Connect

I really need to sit down and revamp my blog so it is not so "off the shelf" and more my own.  It's on my to do list.  So, while I'm painting, and hustling to finish my room, take a look at theses two sites and see if they have anything that will make your weekend special!

Hi Marilyn~

Thank you for dropping by & trying to link up to {k.i.s.s.} blog bash. When you get the error message "no backlink" it means that you have not included a link to my blog in the actual post you are trying to link up. I beleive it may also work if a button or link is on your sidebar. Hope this is helpful, please let me know if there is anything I else I can help with. :) Happy to be a new follower too.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading?
I'm trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But just imagine if you added some great pictures or
videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
and videos, this blog could undeniably be one of the very best in its niche.
Great blog!
