What I Am Learning....

About blogging....what I have learned so far probably makes professional bloggers roll their eyes.
But hey, some of us don't catch on as fast as others! So here you go, my list of things I have been learning about blogging:



  • Jump Break- This is a thing. I had no idea what the point of this was until I was trying to re-arrange the look of my blog. I didn't like having to scroll through the whole blog to get to the next one. It's like a movie preview on your blog page....but for reading!
  • Scheduling- I never paid attention to the little word "schedule" when I was making my posts in the past. I always struggled to stay ahead of my posts and it would make me frustrated. This little tool has been a game changer for me. It means that I can do a blog way ahead of time and then schedule it to post on the date I want it to. Even at the time I want it to. For instance I am writing this post on Monday, October 24th but I am not having it post till October 31st at 8am. GENIUS!
  • Journal- In the past, I would look for ideas, scratch my head wondering what people wanted to read and generally feeling like I had nothing to offer. This time around, I really thought about why I was wanting to blog again. Once, I had that down, I started figuring out how and when I wanted to present this. For me, it means having certain days that I will present different types of posts. Which meant that I needed to keep track of the mess in my head somewhere. I started on the computer, but I am a tactile person and prefer making actual pen and paper notes. Enter pink notebook and my favorite pen!
  • Uploading Pictures- The sooner, the better. That's all I am going to say. Nothing more frustrating than sitting down to work on a blog and having spend time uploading the pictures for that post....




Till next time...

Have a blessed day and embrace the craziness in your life!
