  1. I was on another word press blog for six months and all my posts used to get flooded with comments and likes. Now I have started a new one and I get very less of them. I guess for number of followers and stats , content doesn’t matter What matters is how well you communicate with other friends out there !
    Have a look at my blog If you like 🙂

    1. Hi, I liked your blog. For me I enjoy reading information when it is in easily digestible chunks with headers. The content was interesting and useful! I also liked that you put pictures in too! Keep up the good work!

  11. Hi all, if anyone here is interested in European politics or current affairs could you have a look at my blog laymanaffairs.wordpress.com . It’s meant to be opinion articles on recent happenings rather than academic writing. I hope you enjoy!

  12. Any ideas for a new writer wanting to connect with readers to make them aware of his ‘existence’ without intruding into their privacy space? I hate intrusive or aggressive marketing.

  13. I’ve never really been satisfied with my blog’s layout. The longest I’ve stuck to one theme is around a week or so. I’ve just changed it again after finding a theme I might stick to for longer. I’d appreciate any feedback on the appearance, layout and content. Thanks 🙂

    1. Hi Kindness blog, I really like your layout it’s really colourful and visual. Lots of colour and pictures. It’s easy for the reader to see what you’re blogging about, and in a world of bad news I think it’s nice to see the good things that happen around us!

    1. I will take a look, but using capitals is the equivalent of shouting and does not get you noticed any quicker, in fact it puts people off from coming to your blog. So I suggest that you rewrite you post, ask nicely and say what makes your blog is about and why we should stop and visit. 🙂

  23. Hi! I’m new to this. It’s something I have been considering for a while now and finally broke down and did it. Now that I’ve got my page up, how is the best way to get followers?! I want to see peoples comments on my stories and gain something other than being able to express myself through writing. Maybe even some advice from fellow bloggers?!

  25. I just changed the background and colors of my site. The background is now white and has text on the left side, which means two things that I’m worried about: The boarders between blocks on the front page are not visible (there’s just empty white space – with a color background, the edges of the text boxes show), and the background text shows differently based on your screen size.

    So I’m wondering:

    1. Does the white background make things look more simplictic or does it make it harder to define what is what on the front page?

    2. Should I get rid of the text to the left? Is it distracting or nice? What does it look like on your screen size?

    Thanks!

    1. I really liked your article ‘Bye bye writer’s block’ .. In terms of content, it was amazing. The tips you incorporated in your article seemed to be really nice approaches. I specially liked the introduction, getting up from bed all inspired and ready but taking the notebook and your pen simply erases everything you had planned! And far as your writing style is concerned, it was excellent too! 🙂 I liked your article so much that I even started following your blog! Keep writing like this !
