I’m curious, does anyone else have a lot of “traffic” and not as many “followers”? Yesterday I received 200+ views (a record) and today I’m nearly reaching 300 (a new record). Of those, I’ve gained 3 new followers. Is this the norm for most?

yes – I am having the same thing happen.. limited followers but some posts generate 200+ views.. my blog is still only 2 weeks young so I guess it’s understandable?

My return to writing/blogging started strong, but then, for whatever reason (pre/post holiday blues, writer’s block, busy schedule) I stopped writing. Nothing for over 2 months. I would love feedback on my blog, the layout as well as my writing style – but more importantly, would love input as to how to keep writing.

My older blog which is my portrait photography blog I had a hard time over the last year and a half keeping up with it. Mainly because I did not want to be a typical portrait photographer blogger and throw images on there and leave. I wanted to tell the story of that photo session. I started my new blog in January it is for my landscape and nature photography. Since I started it I have done a few challenges and written quite a few blog post on both blogs. I have no idea why it worked out that way. I seem to be on a good track for blogging on both blogs hopefully I keep it up. I think if you have a picture of something it gives you something to talk about. Try starting with a picture and write you blog using it as your inspiration.

You have some really nice poems. Add some color to your blog whether it is in the lower border of the header that is there or maybe add a image. I think a bit of color will make it more appealing.

Cute story. If I were you I would use smaller paragraph. It seems when they are smaller they are easier to read. You might look up the Zero to Hero challenges and do them even though its over.It teaches you about how to add menus, widgets. about sections and pages.. It makes your blog a bit fancier.

Nice blog. You need to break up that very large paragraph into smaller paragraphs. They are easier for people to read and keeps them from getting over whelmed. Look over the zero to hero challenges and add some widgets in your side bar that will spruce up the look of your blog.

PLEASE PLEASE help. For some odd reason, I can no longer link text in my posts. I click “link”, I enter the url and the name, and when I finish and preview or post, there’s nothing there. So now I am just adding the links at the end of the sentences, which works, but looks horrible.
Someone on a wordpress support group thought it might be my chosen theme – that some themes are “just wonky”

We are new to this blogging world and would love feedback, criticism, followers, et cetera to check us out. In particular, I’m curious about what you all think of the info and advice in my Dealing with a Fearful dog post. After years of behaviorally rehabbing fearful and aggressive dogs successfully I know this info needs to get out there because what I’ve discovered about humans is that they often do the wrong things with their dogs (sometimes the complete opposite of what they should do!)
