Hello all, I posted my newest entry and would love to get some feedback on it. It covers the issue of gendered/sexist advertising, it’s an issue that I feel very strongly about and today I came across one of the worst ones in my opinion. So here it is, and please let me know what you think!
Thanks in advance 🙂

Wow, you are not kidding. That is one offensive and horrible ad. Great post. I’m glad you wrote it.

Thank you for taking the time to read it as well as noticing how ridiculous the ad is. I don’t know which was worse, the fact that the ad was so obvious in it’s sexism, or that no one in the audience seemed perturbed by it in the slightest!
But thank you again for stopping by, I appreciate it 🙂

I have wanted to write a blog for ages and finally sat down today to start it.
I want to create links to the online articles that I have been in and videos that are online. How do I do that?
Also, I would like to change the layout so that the “all about me” section is separate to the other posts. Is this possible?
I’m thinking of doing my next post on “living life with a brain injury” where I describe what I’m doing with my life now. Then a weekly blog on what it’s like living with a brain injury so for example a post about drugs, a post about makeup, a post about friendship, a post about benefits, a post about the encephalitis society.
Also, is it possible to have a link to the encephalitis society website?
Thank you for any feedback you can give me.

What draws a person to a blog? What captures attention?
LikeLike
I think it depends. Some people can attract viewers with their layout alone, but the topics written about is what mostly makes them follow. If the way they write isn’t boring and their theme is about something you like, that will work for you. Also, you need to come up with a good name for the blog, since it’s the very first thing they read, and that can make them or stop them from clicking on your site (which is ironic because I named my blog after my boring ass name, and my layout sucks). Just make sure to be yourself, and not write only for the attention. 🙂

I haven’t been checking out community post for a while. Just want to share that when I first became a blogger, I was sort of ‘pleading’ other bloggers to visit my site not really knowing what blogging is all about. I started my blog looking for a platform to write my autobiography and found wordpress. It meant so much to me then (and even now) to read comments and likes on my posts. So if any new bloggers wish to have comments on their new blogs, please feel free to visit my page specially created for this. I will visit your posts to give my two cents worth of thoughts.
