    1. Ryan, the main thing that got me was lack of color really. Maybe it will be ok when you get some stuff going and maybe you will be adding pictures with your posts or something…just my thought though 🙂 Love the intro.

  8. My blog, IncredABLE Toys, is about toys for children with Special Needs. If this is relevant to you, what would you like to see featured? What type of recommendations are you seeking?

  13. Hi 🙂 If anyone would be willing to look over my poetry/creative writing in general and give some feedback, that’d be fab! And of course I’d so the same for you 🙂

  14. Hello I’d really appreciate some feedback on my blog. It’s quite new so have not had a lot of comments or feedback and would really like to know how I could improve it. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to myself, lol. Thanks all x

  15. Hi. I have only been blogging for a short while and I just wondered whether it is worth going premium? And when I do will I lose the posts I’ve made so far? Thanks for your advice in advance.

  18. I’ve begun my blog on involuntary celibacy today. Involuntary celibacy or ‘incel’ basically means you can’t obtain sexual and/or romantic relations for whatever reason despite desiring them. I was wondering what people think about my introductory post. I was also hoping to generate some debate, debate in which incel is taken seriously of course. On a side note, I hate the Steve Carrel 40 y.o. virgin movie. Incel is a serious problem that reduces quality of life and sense of well-being.

    It can be found here: http://incelblog.wordpress.com/

  21. Hey everyone,
    I am wondering how to get followers who regularly interact with you? So I guess what I’m asking, are there categories or pools where I can find people who blog about stuff that I blog about? For example, I am a college girl blogging about college. It would be nice to find other college students who are blogging about their experience to talk and reply to. It would be nice to have some replies on my blog and get discussion going. Some things I’ve used, such as tags, have got me some followers, but I don’t think I have any loyal people who actually visit my blog and enjoy commenting. Thanks for your help.

    1. Just search for “college life” when using WordPress reader. And building relationships with bloggers is a two-way thing… Comment on theirs, and they are more likely to comment on yours! 🙂 Hope this helps!

  24. I’ve been on WordPress for about 3 years at coffeebreakchari.wordpress.com where I post intricate thoughts about how my walk with God is really going – the joys, the hardships – the everything.

    About 3 months ago, I started a blog at brittanistory.wordpress.com where I write about my life as a new wife, college graduate, and my trip to India. My purpose for starting this blog was to help encourage other new grads and those new into marriage. I want to share in my struggles and successes in hope that someone will connect and feel encouraged that they are not the only one that struggles; that nobody is perfect.

    I would love help with what people are interested in hearing, and what is more of a wash. Were you encouraged? How can I better my tags to reach a larger audience?

    Thanks!

      2. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I am the one who is challenged by small print. If the page is enlarged to fit the screen, the words do not get any easier to read. Could it be my television?

  26. So, what’s with the followers and commenters. Seems that my blog attracts a lot of people who want to sell something to me.

    Are there any real followers or commenters out there?

    If you are not here to sell please message me and come read the blog.
    Thanks.
