We provide the theme each week, you interpret it with your camera as you see fit.
Grow Your Traffic, Build Your Blog
Most of us write, shoot, and blog for the love of it, though it’s always a great feeling to get a Like or a comment, or participate in a great conversation with someone who shares your interests. If you’d like to attract more traffic and nurture a community around your site, take Grow Your Traffic, Build Your Blog: Tips and Tricks for the Tenacious Blogger for a spin.

I’m always having trouble coming up with a “theme” or discussion topic for my blogs, and this is a really great guideline for people like me! Interesting…

While I have to admit I’m slightly biased, I can’t recommend The Daily Post enough when it comes to blogging inspiration, tending your community, learning more about WP.com features, and meeting a like-minded crowd of supportive people.

I am so, so excited with these ebooks. I honestly can’t thank you enough! For the past few hours I’ve going through all three ebooks writing down ideas. The 365 prompts are super…I even picked about 10 of them that I can incorporate and adjust to my blogs!

I think these books are a great idea for a couple reasons. It reminds me of being in English class during high school where my teacher would make us write for the first 10 minutes of class to get our brain juices flowing. Whenever we started class with a writing prompt people were more likely to contribute to the conversation than when we just jumped straight into a topic. I find it when I write in the morning I become more open with people around me throughout the day. By getting my thought process going in the morning it helps me better communicate with people and express my ideas easier than when I don’t write in the morning.
In general, I can see all three of these books being helpful for a PR student or somebody that would like to get into PR.

You’re right. Participating in conversations on topics that interest you is a great way to meet people in the blogging community. I don’t know a single blogger who doesn’t appreciate thoughtful comments on their posts.

Me niether. I’ll write from the heart. I love blogging because it’s like a growth in life, a record of who I am. I would love to connect with my readers through my blog and that’s why I’m always open to comments. By the end of the year, I hope to get a variety of followers and more traffic. I also hope my blog isn’t just an average blog, a blog that people read and learn from, a blog where people come together to share thoughts, a community. One of the wonderful things about blogs is the growth, the learning and the interactions but it’s good to know where and why you started.

These are great suggestions. I used to have a low opinion of Ebooks but that was due to a lack of knowledge, and my love of dusty libraries. I still love wandering through tables of books at the Strand in NYC or Powells in Oregon. However ebooks are the wave of the future and here to stay. Thanks again!
