I'm learning as I go! (Tips for better blogging)


Although this is my first time creating a blog, I know and understand the importance of creating a blog with elements that both attracts followers but also reflects on your personal style.  A blog should be informative but also entertaining.  This is what separates very popular blogs from small personal blogs. 
My first tip for creating an effective blog is incorporating a touch of “you” into it.  I love when I follow a blog and I feel like I know the person.  I personally love humor and in both my blog and Facebook page I try to incorporate my sense of humor.  I enjoy seeing my follower’s feedback. When we have the ability to make something our own we tend to be more motivated about it.  Therefore my first and most important tip in regards to creating a blog is to make sure that you enjoy your blog as much as your followers do.  Allow your blog to reflect something a little special or unique about yourself!
My second tip is about how to pick colors and photos that help enhance your blog.  Now that I have discussed the importance of incorporating your own style into your blog, I think you should pick pictures and colors that you enjoy and that you feel properly fit your blog.  It’s important that the colors all go together.  The only stipulation that I feel is important when picking your colors is to make sure that your colors are attractive but to not take away attention from your actual posts.
