  3. Hello world! 😉

    I just srarted my blog recently and I am hoping to get some feedback 🙂 It can be anything really. I started this blog to vent my feelings and to make sense of them, but now I want to transition it to a more versatile blog. That’s why I started the whole 100 days of happiness project 🙂 Also, any tips with content or inspirations will be appreciated.

    I’m new to the whole blogging scene, so any thoughts or suggestions will help. 🙂 Thank you much!

    The blog I need help with is heysharynne.wordpress.com.

    1. I just read some of your blog and I love it, but maybe you should add some stuff on the about me page. I really love the 100 days of happiness idea. I wish I could be happy for 100 days.

      1. Thank you! Yeah, I meant to get to that 😉 Haha yeah got the idea from other people, and thought maybe it will help with looking at the positive things surrounding us everything and to not dwell on whatever negative things we are going through 🙂

    2. I’m enjoying your understated, straight forward voice. Your writing structure is pretty good and easy to follow – I was never in a situation where I had to reread to understand. That is a very good thing. I think your sites simple, inviting look goes perfectly with your tone and content. One suggestion: reduce the number of entries per page, or you will have a hard time getting people to your footer content. For your page I think 1-3 would be appropriate – 1 would probably have the most impact. Looking forward to checking back, and reading more. ❤ #zerocharisma

    1. Your stories are imaginative, engaging and send a message beyond what is written. As an English teacher this is exactly what I try to teach my pupils to do (with varying levels of success; they are all between 13 and 16). It’s great to see such creative examples of short stories. Well done.
